Bone in Chicken Leg

What entry do you guys use for chicken legs in my fitness pal? I typically use the usda site religiously for calorie counts but bone in is confusing. I do eat the meat and skin since my dinner side is just a ton of veggies.

Do I use this one? Where its the cooked weight with meat and skin. Weigh it cooked, eat, then weigh and subtract the bones?

Or this one? Where eveything is raw, weigh the raw legs, cook, eat, then still weigh the bones and subtract?
