Assume I have two pieces of chicken. One piece I simply bake in the
oven. The other piece I cook as a breaded, deep-fried chicken.

Before serving the meal, I remove the entire skin from both pieces of
chicken.

Would the deep fried chicken significantly have more fat & calories
than the baked chicken? Or would the caloric & fat content remain more
or less the same?

Wouldn't matter. Skinless chicken negates anything you put on it, so fat &
calories always remain the same. You can even douse it in BBQ sauce the the
sugar in the sauce magically vanishes.

Is this an IQ test? Assuming you remove the skin you must be removing
the breading so the calorie content should be roughly the same.

On the other hand if you remove the breading why bother with deep fried
chicken?

Well, I kind of figured that a deep fried chicken would've absorbed a
lot of cooking oil while it was being deep fried. Surely, the skin of
a chicken isn't an impenetrable shield of all things greasy?

Lazy people like me would occasionally settle for a quick meal by
buying fried chicken at the local grocery or at KFC. Since I always
remove the skin off these chicken, I was wondering how the calorie
content compares to that of a skinless baked chicken.

Higher. I dunno by how much. If you cared very much about it you
wouldn't buy the deep fried, skin on, battered version in the first
place. Here in SoCal there's a chain of chicken restaurants (mostly
for take out), which marinates skinless chicken in citrus juice then
grills it. Pretty good except when they overcook it, and clearly less
fat than the alternatives. -aem

The KFC places here have nutritional posters on the wall. Ask next time
you're at one - they probably can give you a pamphlet. By the way, even if
they could magically remove all the fat, there'd still be the sodium. Lots
of it.

They'd be about the same. The fried chicken won't have absorbed much fat
because water to steam flashover keeps it from soaking in.
