Calorific, yes
woukd you describe Fish and Chips as junk?
You seem to be under the assumption that if you start with a healthy item of food, nothing you can do to it will make it unhealthy. That's simply not true.
The chicken breast itself isn't junk, but once it's been coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and salt, then fried in oil, it becomes junk. In the case of KFC extra crispy, the 200+ extra calories added in the process are empty calories, (energy rich, nutrient poor) they offer nothing but flavour and texture.
Interesting you mention fish and chips. Out of all the fast foods, fish and chips is considered one of the most healthy, but the fish has to be VERY lightly battered, or better still unbattered. It's the batter that makes it a junk food.
Another good example is a toffee apple. An apple on it's own is a healthy snack, coat it in caramelised sugar and dip it in hundreds and thousands and it becomes junk food.

so, fish and chips? toad in the hole onion rings chinese food curry
it's a sad life you lead, I guess that's why they are called "salad days", wake up, extra calories are only bad if you don't burn them off.
Enjoy your lentil soup, washed down with herbal tea (both of which will have been fertilised bu the "output" of animals.
