So I have a pack of chicken wings with barbecue spice (likely not an extremely calorie dense glaceing as in the US, but not sure). Calories are 188kcal per 100gr raw. Is this with or without bone? The packaging doesn't say

    Intuitively, I would say without the bone since that's usually how nutritional values are given?
    I've never seen it specified on food labels here whether it's with or without the bone, I always presume without. And 188 sounds about right for marinated chicken wing meat.

    I'm wondering. This is from a country where I've seen meat with and without bone on nutritional slips before. But it usually does say. But I guess with bone the calories would be too high.

    That's what I was thinking too, the value seems high if it includes the bone.
