What’s the nutritional content of beer can chicken?

I've been enjoying beer can chicken lately and wondering about its nutritional content. Are there specific vitamins or macros it's rich in? How does it compare to other cooking methods health-wise? Any insights would be super helpful!

Cooking the chicken over a beer can helps keep it moist and flavorful, which means you might be tempted to eat less skin (where a lot of the fat is).

Beer can chicken’s nutritional content varies based on the seasoning and preparation, but generally, it provides a good source of protein from the chicken, along with some fats. The beer itself adds minimal nutritional value but can contribute to flavor and moisture .

Beer can chicken is super tasty, but the nutritional content can vary based on how you cook it and what you add. Typically, the chicken itself is pretty lean, but you might end up with extra calories from the skin and any sauces or rubs you use. For a healthier twist, you can remove the skin before eating and go easy on the seasoning.
