    You weigh it... the scale tells you the weight. :noway:

    The first two pictures are chicken thighs.

    The last picture is a chicken leg, which includes both the thigh and the drumstick.

    Each thigh will weigh a different amount depending on how big the bird was that it came from.

    OK, so we can say, in the whole leg, if not the biggest one, we have cca 100 mg, right?;)

    To get an average size for poultry pieces, you can use the USDA food database. They list raw chicken legs with meat and skin here: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/868

    According to them a whole leg, with skin and bone, weighs about 344g.

    Their chicken thigh info is here: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/884

    If you want to look up other items, go to one of those pages and click "Food Search", then type what you are looking for. It might not have some European ingredients though, and as far as I know it is only in English.

    P.S. Because of thread title here is chicken tight!

    You should weigh the thigh before cooking to be sure, as not all of them are the same exact size or weight. If you are having a chicken thigh already cooked, as in take out food, the calorie counter will give you an average depending on whether it's baked, fried, whatever, as the cooking method adds calories.

    Hey, U are reading my thoughts!
    I just put fried chicken tight into my diary, and it says 250 kcal for it.


    So, this drumstick has cca 100 g meat and 80 calories without sking probably???

    ( I rarely cook at home, cause I have meals in enterprise, and because of the situation, cooing at homeis just too expensive, on the toher hand, we get meals in enterprise for free and are even regarded badly if we don't use them...- local phenomenon )

    Kitchen scales are not only quite ecxpensive, but also quite rare, cause alway less and less people uy them..

    U will easilly find more and more young people who are not used to rememer and compare weights, if not labeled on the package...)

    Or you could disregard the advice here and continue to be in the dark over a simple question........and keep guessing.

    Roasting is done in the oven (no oil).

    Frying is done in a pan with oil/ fat.

    Deep frying is done in a big pan where the chicken bits are completely covered in oil.

    U do not use any oil in the oven?

    We have some plastic bags to avoid using oil in the oven.

    I do not liek meat too much ,and if I rpepare it at home, I prefere cooking
