you can google that. They have a website where you can find the calorie count for pretty much anything

In general a leg has 220 calories, 13 g of fat (5 grams saturated).
All of them are fried so its probably not a big diffrence

Here are some numbers. Since you can’t compare a KFC chicken leg with the leg from a one-pound chicken, I also got the numbers for how many calories each would have in 100 grams. KFC changed its recipe this year, and these figures are from before the change.
A thigh, breaded and fried, from a 1 pound chicken: 238
100 grams of breaded and fried thigh from a 1 pound chicken: 277
A KFC original recipe thigh, before January 2007: 404
KFC original recipe thigh, 100 grams, before January, 2007: 266
A leg, breaded and fried from a 1 pound chicken: 259
100 grams of breaded and fried leg from 1 pound chicken: 273
A KFC original recipe drumstick, before January 2007: 184
100 grams of KFC original recipe drumstick, before January 2007: 245
The numbers are close enough that there really is no difference.
