Fried Chicken Nutrition

[BDawg]

I was looking at the nutritional facts for Bojangles chicken just a minute ago and saw this.

Calories
Breast - 278
Leg - 264
Thigh - 310
Wing - 355!

How in the world does the wing have more calories than anything else? It's so much smaller than any other piece. There's nothing on the site that says the facts are per serving, so I assume it's per piece.

wing usually has more skin, which has more fat. Also more surface area for fried batter to cling to, which could add calories.

weird, indeed. part of it depends on how they make them, i guess. If you take out the skin off the breast, its less calories, and less fat. but if not, it looks like popeye's.
i dunno...stop eating there anyways

Popeye's also has a listing for skinless chicken too.
