Signature Fried Chicken — Calories by Cut & Sauce
The sauce changes the numbers more than most people expect. Official Small-order calories:
| Cut (Small) | Classic Crunch | Korean BBQ | Yangnyeom | Soy Garlic | Spicy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wings (10 pc) | 882 | 902 | 942 | 850 | 800 |
| Drumsticks (5 pc) | 656 | 676 | 716 | 806 | 957 |
| Strips (10 pc) | 879 | 899 | 939 | 1,179 | 1,156 |
| Boneless (12 pc) | 867 | 879 | 903 | ~1,776 | ~1,768 |
| Combo (9 pc) | 911 | 929 | 965 | 812 | 767 |
Medium doubles and Large triples these figures almost exactly. The lighter glazes on every cut are Classic Crunch and Korean BBQ; Soy Garlic and Spicy run noticeably heavier on strips and boneless per the official chart (see all five Bonchon sauces ranked). One surprise: Classic Crunch is the saltiest wings option (1,695mg) — the seasoning carries the salt, not the sauce.
| Cut (Small) | Protein | Sodium range (by sauce) |
|---|---|---|
| Wings (10) | 56–60g | 624 (Yangnyeom) – 1,695mg (Classic) |
| Drumsticks (5) | 56–70g | 654 – 1,725mg |
| Strips (10) | 80–91g | ~1,318 – 3,671mg |
| Boneless (12) | ~46g | ~2,040 – 4,223mg |

Lightest full meal: Small Classic Crunch or Korean BBQ drumsticks (656–676) with pickled radish and steamed rice — a complete plate near 1,070 calories.
A full Bonchon meal under 750 calories: Edamame (270) + Steamed Rice (398) + Kimchi (67) = 735 calories total. And the single biggest saving on the menu: swapping Bulgogi Fries (1,003) for pickled radish + kimchi (82 combined) cuts over 900 calories from the same order.

How Many Calories Should You Eat? (Daily Targets)
To put the numbers above in context, here are the standard daily calorie ranges — the FDA uses 2,000 calories as its reference for nutrition labeling, and real needs vary by body and activity:
| Goal / Profile | Calories per day |
|---|---|
| Weight loss (women) | 1,200–1,500 |
| Weight loss (men) | 1,500–1,800 |
| FDA standard reference | 2,000 |
| Active women (maintenance) | 2,000–2,200 |
| Active men (maintenance) | 2,400–2,800 |
| Athletes / bulking | 3,000+ |
How a Bonchon meal fits: a Small Spicy Wings order (800) is 40% of a 2,000-calorie day — a solid single meal if breakfast and dinner stay lighter. On a 1,500-calorie plan, Small Classic Crunch drumsticks (656) still fit comfortably. On 2,500+, most Small orders plus a light side sit easily inside one of three meals. Sharing a Medium between two people equals a Small each — same numbers, better value. Ranges are general guidance; a dietitian can give you a precise personal target.
