Along with the wings, chicken thighs tend to be the fattiest part on the bird, meaning less protein and more calories per piece. Here, you'll end up with 200 extra calories and less than half the protein than if you go with the more satisfying breast-beans combo. Besides, the Cajun Spiced Chicken Breast may be the leanest piece of fried chicken you'll ever find. For 278 calories, you get a full 33 grams of protein. Translation: This is a hefty piece of chicken. Tack on the pintos for 110 calories, and feel good about taking in some fiber and antioxidants along with your deep-fried fare.
