The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Proteins: grilled → deep-friedCoating: + Heavy breaded, fattySauce: + Ranch sauce
  • Same chicken fillet — a heavy, fatty breading soaks up frying oil until the crust carries almost as many calories as the meat.
  • Grill versus deep fryer: the appliance you don't see on the plate is worth roughly 100 kcal per 100 g (grilled fillet vs the ~258 kcal fried-chicken reference example).
  • A tablespoon of ranch adds most of the sauce calories on top.
