The two versions compared on this page.

Main: grilled → Deep-friedCoating: + Fast food coatingSauce: + Ranch dressing
- Thick breading retains frying oil, taking the chicken from 165 kcal per 100 g grilled to more than 240 when heavily breaded and fried.
- A tablespoon of ranch adds mostly fat even though it sits beside the chicken.
- Grilling without breading or added fat keeps the chicken close to the calorie density of the plain breast.
