Can cats eat fried chicken?

Avoid

Batter and sauce carry salt, garlic and onion — plus dangerous bones.

Don't.

Why

Fried chicken's oil, batter and sauce are all wrong for cats, and leftover bones splinter (see cooked bones). A bit of inner meat isn't a disaster, but it's not something to give on purpose.
