Why are those the only choices?
Because i just want to know which is the healthiest, and yes i know their both not good for you but just wanting to know whuch would be the least worst out of the two..
Again, depends on your goals.
If in some no-choice universe where I had to pick one or the other, I'd look at calories and protein content. My guess is the burger is lower cal. Neither fits my usual goals for a meal, but both could fit in as an occasional meal if they were items I really enjoyed.0 -

That said I love the idea of the fried chicken cheeseburger, but only if the buns are Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Why not? It only take one serving of a specific food to be a CALORIE BOMB to yur diet.
But either of the foods you mentioned could be a CALORIE BOMB.0 -

And fried chicken piece except wing b/c too small.
I have no idea what senteynce fragment means. But for me, I'd want to know:
What condiments/toppings are on the burger (if any)? How big is the burger? What is the fat content of the meat and cheese on the burger? What is the fiber content of the bun?
What type of breading is used on the fried chicken? What part of the chicken is being fried (breast, leg, thigh, etc.) and how big is it? What type of oil is being used?
Was thinking more of a broad choice like a place that has no nutritionial info/ingredients on stuff like that but on a broad perspective, your typical 1/4 lb patty with lettuce,tomato, onions,pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise regular fat versus, chicken thigh, breaded and fried in oil that is trans fat free oils.
Judging strictly by this I'd consider the chicken thigh to be the healthier option because I think I could fit into my normal day easier than the burger.1 -

That flew over their head as well. We may need an interpreter.0 -

Where would you be that would have these two choices and none others, or is the deal that these are the two that sound appealing? I don't think I've ever been anywhere other than a full service restaurant where you'd have these two choices, and then there'd be other options too, plus sides (and you'd get a lot more chicken than just a side).
If you want to cut calories in the burger get it without mayo (unless you like mayo -- I don't, personally).0 -

Let's compare for fun:
KFC Chicken Thigh (original): 270 calories, 19 grams of fat
Five Guys Little Cheeseburger (no condiments): 550 calories, 32 grams of fat
Depending on preparation, restaurant, etc., the numbers will be different. But, in order to compare in my own head what I would choose, I chose these two restaurants.
You could eat two fried chicken thighs for about the same calories as the cheeseburger.
Healthwise, as everyone has said, there's no magical way to compare. I just eat what fits into my caloric goals with an eye on the protein as well.1 -

And if your goal is to gain weight, that would make it "healthier" right? It also depends on what else you had to eat that day, or how much exercise you got. That's why people keep asking you questions instead of giving you answers. It's not as simple as "A vs B which is better?"3 -

Okay, well, you "could" get more micros from a burger. Throw it on a wheat bun, add spinach, tomato, pickles, onins... Maybe a fried egg and some cheese, and some avacodo...
That's a nutrient filled food right there...0 -
@BreezeDoveal do you have any insightful additions for this health-conscious poster?8

You probably won't find a human food that is unhealthy to humans. If it were unhealthy to humans in general it wouldn't be considered "food". What's healthy for humans is a balanced diet that meets your nutritional needs and doesn't aggravate your body. Only you have enough information to determine which of the foods mentioned best fits that description for you.4 -

Chicken fried steak is a thing, no? Maybe you should make your own chicken fried hamburger. Then put it on a wheat bun, so it's healthy.3

Zee, this kinfa what i wanted, thanks
But these are two examples, there are many others with different calories and macros. It really depends on where they are from.
Also, for me, one deep fried chicken thigh would not be filling. A .25 lb burger might be. For the same amount of filling-ness, a burger will usually be lower cal, for me. However, how many cals the burger has (and how much protein) is going to depend a lot on the kind of beef chosen.ok i got a another question for you I got you ask would a deep fried foof be worser than a non deep fried food because i heard that deep fried food increases inflammation but heres the kicker!, last oct(mon 10) it was thrown down how processed meats cause cancer BUT darker meat like beef and porkhas a greater risk of cancer due to the more blood going through it versus meat like fish and chicken so let me reintroduce this matter, chicken, better than beef according to the last year study, deep fried in batter or burger, 100% beef but claimed worser by lastbyears research but instead of fryed with batter, grilled with no flame, but comes with that enriched flour bread with hfcs but has veggies lettuce, timato, onionsunlike the deep fried chicken for instance a medium thigh but i hope you get my equation , i hope i narrwed my question enough for you.
You are really overthinking this.
Neither of these meals would be recommended as a regular thing under the nutrition guidelines, etc., except that if you made the burger with lean meat and ate some vegetables with it, that would not be too far from normal recommendations.
Therefore, to focus on these two choices (both of which can be included in an overall healthful diet) and then worry about the hypothetical differences without enough information to really compare them (where are they from, what's a reasonable calorie count -- which would be determined by the specifics of the two items and their preparation) makes no sense to me.4 -
Steak. The answer is always steak. Like the 12oz rib-eye I ate for dinner, medium rare verging on rare, with a generous amount of kosher salt.2

Then neither would be unhealthy if they were part of an overall balanced diet.
Neither of the foods you mentioned are likely to be considered a "healthy food" by any nutrition expert. But, that doesn't mean the foods are "unhealthy".
A healthy diet need not consist of 100% "healthy foods".
A diet of 100% "healthy foods" may be unhealthy.
Stop focusing on the minutia and focus on the whole.3 -

Don't believe everything you read.
You're massively overthinking this. It's ONE meal, not the same thing you're going to eat everyday for the rest of your life.
Eat the burger, eat the chicken, have an icecream sundae for dessert, you will be fine.0 -
May I present the deep fried twinkies burger, since we know the OP likes his cake.
