Main: grilled → Deep-friedCoating: + Heavy breaded, fattySauce: + Ranch dressing
  • The chicken fillet is the same, but heavy breading retains frying oil and adds almost as many calories as the meat.
  • Grilling versus frying changes the total by roughly 100 kcal per 100 g. The fried chicken lands at about 258.
  • A tablespoon of ranch adds most of the sauce calories on top.
