There is some truth to this but it isn't 100% accurate.

You can buy a pack of chicken breasts, store brand, bulk pack, on sale for whatever they cost. What happens when you get them home can make a big difference in how fattening the meal is. If you leave the skin on, batter them and deep fry them, that's one thing. If you remove the skin, season them and bake/broil/grill them, that's another. Either way, the chicken cost the same amount but the first way, it has way more fat and calories than the second way.
