Chicken question???

So I went to a friends house and I didn't know but she had her boyfriend pick up KFC on his way home...ughhh I was starving and needed something to eat...and I felt horrible just getting up and leaving...so I took the chicken only but took off all the skin and fried part...I heard once that you cut so many oil calories doing that because when it's fried the oil doesn't sep into the chicken it's only on the fried part. Is that true??
