At Oktoberfest it's called a Hendl, and it turns on a spit for hours with butter, salt and paprika. Half a bird is about 720 kcal.

Most of that is protein, 82 g of it, which is more than plenty of people eat in a whole day. The 41 g of fat sits mostly in the crispy skin.

Add a Mass and you're at 1,220. That's the classic tent order, and honestly one of the more sensible things on the menu.

Tips

  1. 1Share a whole chicken across the table instead of everyone getting a half.
  2. 2Leave some of the skin, the meat underneath keeps nearly all the protein.
  3. 3Have a pretzel with it instead of fries.
