About Fast Foods, Fried Chicken, Breast, meat and skin and breading
This is a classic bone-in fried chicken breast eaten the way it's served — meat, crispy skin and seasoned breading together. The breast is the leanest cut, but the deep-fried, battered coating adds a lot of fat and calories that the meat alone would not carry.
Per 100 grams it provides about 252 calories, with a strong 21.9 grams of protein and roughly 14.8 grams of fat. Carbohydrate is about 7.8 grams, almost all of it from the breading, with very little sugar. Cholesterol is around 88 milligrams, and sodium is high at about 551 milligrams per 100 grams from the seasoned coating. A typical bone-in breast piece weighs well over 100 grams, so a whole piece delivers proportionally more.
Fried chicken breast is genuinely protein-rich, but the breading and frying oil are what push up the fat, calories and salt. Pulling off the skin and breading cuts the fat dramatically (see the meat-only version, around 152 calories per 100 grams), so anyone watching calories can keep the protein and shed much of the fat by eating the chicken without its crust.
