How to order at KFC

  • Count the number and type of chicken pieces you actually order; breast, thigh and tenders are not interchangeable.
  • Sides can add vegetables, starch or extra energy. Choose them for the job the meal needs to do.
  • Plant-based meal options are limited in the tracked U.S. menu and shared preparation may matter for dietary restrictions.
