Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
A wing is mostly skin and bone by area, which is why raw with skin is already 191 kcal per 100 g — as much as a roasted drumstick — with 12.9 g of fat. Roasting takes it to 254 as water leaves and the skin crisps. Nothing in this row is fried, sauced or coated, and on a wing those three are usually most of what is being eaten.
Logging this food
One raw wing is 107 g and 204 kcal, and that weight includes the bone. A 4 oz portion is 113 g and 216 kcal; a whole package in USDA's listing is 1,150 g and 2,197. Wings are eaten in counts rather than grams, so the useful habit is to log by the piece and accept that a large wing runs above this figure and a small one below it.
Swaps and alternatives
Skinless is the only meaningful swap inside a wing: the roasted skinless row is 203 kcal per 100 g against 254 roasted with skin. Since the skin is the point of a wing, the real comparison is with another cut — raw skinless breast is 120 per 100 g against this row's 191. Baking rather than frying keeps the skin and leaves out the oil, which is where most of the difference lives.
