Mini breakdown

• Higher fat than breast, so slightly higher in calories but juicier.

• Grilling, baking, or air-frying with little added oil keeps calories closer to the 180–210 range per thigh.

• Deep-frying, heavy breading, or lots of sauce can significantly increase total calories above the numbers shown.

TL;DR: For everyday tracking, counting about 200 calories per cooked, skinless chicken thigh is a reasonable estimate, then adjust up if it’s fried, sauced, or has the skin on.
