About KFC, Fried Chicken, EXTRA CRISPY, Thigh, meat and skin with breading
It's a popular fast food option, known for its crispy, seasoned coating and juicy meat. This cut, taken from the upper leg, includes both the meat and the skin along with the breading, which significantly increases its fat and calorie content compared to skinless poultry. Each 100-gram serving provides a solid 17.2 grams of protein, making it a good source of this essential nutrient, though it also contains 22.1 grams of fat—much of it from the frying oil and skin. The carbohydrate content is moderate at 10.3 grams, mainly from the breading, and there's no fiber present.
Because of its high fat and sodium content, it's best enjoyed occasionally rather than as a regular part of a balanced diet. It's often eaten as a main dish, paired with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or biscuits, or used in sandwiches and wraps. For those mindful of nutrition, removing the skin before eating can cut down on fat, and balancing it with vegetables or salads can help round out the meal.
