Chicken thigh, fried, coated, skin/coating eaten, fast food calories: 323 per 1 thigh (110 g)
This exact USDA record reports 323 calories for 1 thigh (110 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 323 calories for 1 thigh at 110 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 294 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 17.9 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 823 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast foods, fried chicken, thigh, meat and skin and breading, representing 79.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 thigh at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 83–397 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706050: “Chicken thigh, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, from fast food.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706050, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 cup, cooked, diced” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 83 kcal | 4.6 g | 0.1 g | 212 mg |
| 1 thighUSDA-listed household measure | 110 g | 323 kcal | 17.9 g | 0.3 g | 823 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 397 kcal | 22 g | 0.4 g | 1,010 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706050’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706050’s 110 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
Iron1 mg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium22 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken thigh, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, from fast food,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706052 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 cup, cooked, diced
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 83 kcal to 397 kcal.
- 02
Source identity: FDC 2706050 versus 2706052
The closest published neighbor currently carries the same nutrient, portion, and source-input evidence. The FDC IDs still identify separate source records, so the exact citation remains the deciding field.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fast Foods, Fried Chicken, Thigh, meat and skin and breading
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Fast Foods, Fried Chicken, Thigh, meat and skin and breading supplies 79.3% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2706050 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2706050, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Chicken, whole pieces” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Source-equivalent fields
Different source identities, matching published reference fields
Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2706050 and FDC 2706052 match exactly. Their descriptions and source identities remain distinct provenance; matching database fields do not make every real-world version interchangeable.
Practical reading: do not infer a nutrient difference from the names alone. Choose the description that more closely matches what was reported, while treating the shared values as a standardized reference rather than a measurement of your plate.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706050 versus FDC 2706052 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with restaurant formulation and serving size, amount of absorbed frying fat, portion size, cut and fat trim.
For “Chicken thigh, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, from fast food,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
amount of absorbed frying fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 04
cut and fat trim
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706050 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 294 kcal per 100 g becomes 323 kcal at 110 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 thigh has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706050
FNDDS food code: 24157320
The scaling for FDC 2706050 can be exact while the match to “Chicken thigh, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, from fast food” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 110 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
