Breaded, fried wing with skin. Bone-in pieces include inedible weight — log only the meat-and-coating you actually eat, not the bone. Fast-food fried chicken runs even higher in fat.
How does fried chicken fit your goals?
Most of the calories in fried chicken come from fat (12.1g per 1 piece (60g)), which makes it calorie-dense — easy to under-portion if you're eyeballing. Dietary fat is essential for hormone production and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, but at 9 calories per gram it's also the macro most people accidentally over-consume when they stop weighing portions.
Diet-wise, fried chicken fits keto and low-carb eating patterns.
