Certainly. In fact, factory farmed chickens are fed very unhealthy diets, and often have a very high fat percentage in their bodies. In turn, eating factory farmed chickens, and any factory farmed animals, is very unhealthy.

Free range chickens are almost never fat, unless they are fed fattening foods. Breeds like Cornish, which are kept almost exclusively for meat, are bred to grow fast, and can get quite fat, again, in a factory farmed setting. Some of them get so big and fat in factory farms that they can have severe leg problems, and suffer extreme cruelty. Thus, eating free range chicken (or no chicken) is not only much healthier, but much kinder.

It depends an how you fry the chicken. If you use the deep frying method with a whole chicken, the oil from the fat does not significantly penetrate the chicken. Actually, the heat from the oil tends to seal-in the natural juices of the chicken. It is not necessarily a fattening result.
