Chicken Wings: Why are they bad?

Isnt it good to eat chicken? Chicken wings have a ridiculous amount of calories ive been told....is it only when they are breaded? I dont see why eating unbreaded chicken off of a bone is bad if it really is.....explain?

1. dark meat is not good for you, white meat is. The wings are dark... and they're usually deep fried in hot oil whether they're breaded or not. An actual chicken leg, baked, doesn't have that many calories so it has nothing to do with eating it off the bone. Also, chicken skin has a lot of fat under it so chicken is really only healthy when you eat skinless white meat.
2. chicken wings are usually deep fried and deep fried food are high in calories
3. chicken wings are not dark meat, they are white meat...legs and thighs are dark meat...chicken wings are bad for you if they are breaded or the top skin has not been removed...everybody thinks chicken is low fat but the skin is high fat...if you remove the skin then it is good for you!
