Here is a nutritional fact about wings:
Serving Size: 4 Wings
Calories: 434
Protein: 34.3 g
Carbohydrates: 11.4 g
Fat: 27.4 g %
Calories from Fat: 57 %
Cholesterol: 160 mg
Sodium: 1234 mg

Notice 57% fat content. Sounds like a lot of grease to me.
Do not know about how donuts react in oil or shortening in your case so I believe you.

As for the nutritional data, again that is generally pulled from some franchise place or pre-packaged crap. You can tell by looking at the sodium levels. Also the carbs look mighty high so I would think wherever they pulled that data from also breaded or coated their wings in flour or something.
