    I think it's a great, healthy option, for lunch, or when you don't want to cook dinner. We have it in the house at all times, just in case. If you have time, you can make a roast chicken yourself, and that way you'll actually know the nutritional content, but in my opinion, it's a pretty healthy choice!

    Love them. Healthy and delicious. Pretty low calorie and much better than fried chicken. I agree, as long as they are moist, so good!!

    I can feed my family one nice chicken dinner, I can make chicken salads for myself for the rest of the week, I can make a pot of soup with the carcass, and my dog gets the skin that I peeled off before I served the chicken dinner. What's not to like?

    I'll boil the bones for 24 hours or more, in a crock pot until they crumble, and feed that to the dogs!

    I eat it for lunch every day, and log the white & dark meat separately.

    Good Things happen to your macros when you eat the Rotisserie chicken!

    Grew up with dogs, and was always told to never, never feed chicken bones to dogs, since they splinter & cause problems. YMMV.

    Who does not love rotisserie chicken. I actually have two showtime rotisserie ovens. Its the best way to cook a chicken flavor wise, but i do not believe its the most healthy. My reason is because yes the fat dips off but its still basting itself in its own fat/juices. Baking ontop a rack or boiling would be the most healthy, but would not be the most tasty thats for sure.

    My favorite is cold smoking a whole chicken for about an hour or two, then dry rub and rotisserie for 15 min per pound.

    I"m not sure why basing itself in it's own juices is bad?

    fat is good. it's delicious.

    I was referring to the hype about it being the most healthy cooking method. Of course chicken is healthy, unless your breading it and deep frying or slow cooking it in a pot of duck fat.

    Why do you define those methods and ingredients as unhealthy? Duck fat is a staple in my life and is very healthy and nothing inherently unhealthy about deep frying either.

    Its great. I bought on Monday and I have used it 5 times already. Still have some left will probably finish it off today.

    I used it in a salad and also have been making a chicken wraps for my boyfriend and I. So yummy.

    Thanks guys! I definitely feel better about making that as a choice. I guess it just seems oily or greasy? So just wanted to get opinions as far as healthy wise...I logged 9oz last night which I guess is kinda high but came to 510 cals and I was hungry and needed some protein :)

    I think the reason it might be ok is because of the really long cooking till it crumbles but guess we can't know unless we see it. I have dogs too so know what you mean. Maybe this would work.. not sure.

    Must start buying a roast chook when I shop more often. Think I saw an free range one on special this week! bonus. Will be tastier!

    I probably couldn't tell you the difference if I was taste testing free range or generic caged or tortured all it's life.

    I really can't be bothered to think that hard about a dead animal I'm going to put in my mouth.

    I'm not vegetarian so I do eat chicken and honestly you really can taste a free range bird. Yes I don't like I eat animals because I have pets I love very much but oh well we have to make our choices and I choose to eat meat for now. Sorry about that.
