Why is it high in calories compared to other chicken cuts? For instance, 6oz of "Rotisserie Chicken" is 340cals, vs 10oz of "Thigh - Grilled" being 340cals...What makes Rotisserie Chicken more cals than thigh meat??

Dang...that was some impressive answering, now I feel a bit ditsy hahaha.0 -
Probably oil, or marinade injections. I noticed the same thing, but I still get them occasionally for ease.
I find that the frozen grilled chicken is best for quick protein and calories, though. Put some Alamo mesquite seasoning on it, and some Sriracha on the side, and I almost forget it's frozen meat.0 -
Also perhaps because grilled meat, even with skin on, is cooked in such a way that much of the fat drips through the grate, while rotisserie chicken rotates so that it self-bastes. Even so, it's delicious, a great convenience, and the skin can always be removed before using.0

Blech. I can't eat chicken on the bone without the skin. What a travesty to throw it away instead of eating it somehow :-(0 -

;mmmmmmmmm! Cut throat kitchen had a competitor who was going to make crispy chicken skin as a type of chip for something. Would've been nice to be the judge eating that!0 -

Oh, it never gets thrown away! I cook down the carcass & trimmings, divide the edible scraps between the dogs & the chickens, strain the broth & skim off the fat, then freeze it in ziplock bags for use in cooking rice or quinoa. And I confess, when the chicken is hot off the rotisserie, I do enjoy a bite or two with that delicious crispy skin. But then, alas, the rest comes off because it won't fit in my calories.

You feed chicken to chickens? For some reason that thought disturbs me.0 -
Our cat gets the chicken skins we don't eat. She's chowing down on some now. She loves it.0
