Fried chicken calories and nutrition facts
Per 100 g: 241 kcal — 19.1 g protein, 15.1 g fat and 5.8 g carbs.
Southern fried chicken is made from bone-in pieces dredged in seasoned flour, sometimes after a buttermilk soak, and deep-fried until crisp. A breaded drumstick has about 241 kcal per 100 g, and one piece weighs around 100 g. Most of the extra energy compared with roast chicken comes from the crust and frying oil, so peeling off the skin removes a good share.
