KFC Menu With Prices & Calories – June 2026 (USA)

Combos pair an entrée with a side, a biscuit, and a drink – usually cheaper than buying the items separately. (Bowl combos are under Pot Pies & Bowls; waffle boxes and Meals for Two are grouped here.)

KFC’s main value plays. Deals rotate and depend on location, so confirm current offers in the app.

Family meals are the cheapest way to eat at KFC per person. A “Meal” includes sides and biscuits; “Chicken Only” or “Tenders Only” is just the pieces.

Hand-breaded white-meat tenders, sold à la carte or in boxes and combos. (Tender combos are in the Combos table; tender buckets in Family Meals.

Prices vary by location.

White-meat nuggets in regular and saucy versions, from a 5-piece snack to a 50-piece party box.

Prices vary by location.

KFC’s sandwiches use a hand-breaded fillet on a brioche bun. Smaller Snackers and the mini Chicken Little round out the lineup.

Prices vary by location.

The Famous Bowl® – mashed potatoes, sweet corn, crispy chicken, gravy, and shredded cheese – is one of KFC’s best single-serving values. The Chicken Pot Pie is a flaky-crust pie with chicken, potatoes, peas, and carrots. Standalone bowls start at ~$5; combos add a side and drink for ~$6.99.

Prices vary by location.

Classic sides, desserts, and dips. Sides also come included in combos and family meals at better value.

KFC serves Pepsi-brand fountain drinks plus lemonades, sweet teas, and a few exclusives like Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning.

This is where it pays to check the official source. KFC publishes a full Nutrition Calculator and Allergen Guide on KFC.com, and recipes can change, so confirm figures there before ordering – especially for allergies.

A few things to know:

• Calories for a single fried chicken piece generally range from about 70 to 530, depending on the cut (a wing is small; a breast is large) and whether it’s Original or Extra Crispy. Combo meals usually land between 600 and 1,300+ calories once you add a side, biscuit, and drink.
• Common allergens in KFC’s breaded items include wheat, milk, soy, and egg. Confirm each item in the official Allergen Guide.
• Gluten-free: KFC has no dedicated gluten-free menu, and most chicken is breaded in wheat flour. Sides like corn, cole slaw, or mashed potatoes (without gravy) are lower-risk for some diners, but shared fryers mean cross-contact is possible. Anyone with a serious allergy should check in-store.

Best value at KFC 

If you’re ordering on a budget, three rules get you the most food per dollar.

1. Buy combos, not à la carte. A combo bundles an entrée, side, biscuit, and drink for less than buying each separately. À la carte is the most expensive way to order.
2. Go bigger on buckets. The per-piece price drops as the bucket grows. Using representative prices:

The 16-piece works out cheapest per piece, so larger groups save the most.

3. Lean on the value tiers when eating solo. A standalone bowl (~$5), the Famous Bowl Combo (~$6.99), or a Box Feast (from $7) are the lowest-priced complete meals. The Taste of KFC deals are the best quick, cheap single meal.

Cheapest full meal overall: a standalone bowl at ~$5, or the $7 Box Feast for a fuller combo.

How to order KFC

You can order KFC several ways, and the method affects the price.

• KFC app and KFC.com – the best prices and the only place to get app-exclusive deals and KFC Rewards points. The app uses your location to show your store’s exact menu and pricing.
• In-store and drive-thru – full menu; pay by card, cash, or mobile payment.
• Delivery – KFC delivers through its own app and through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Third-party apps usually add a $2–$5 markup, so ordering pickup directly through KFC is normally cheaper.

To find your nearest restaurant and live local pricing, use the store locator on KFC.com or in the app.

KFC brand and history

KFC – short for Kentucky Fried Chicken – was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1930 in Corbin, Kentucky, where he served fried chicken from a roadside café. He perfected the 11 herbs and spices that still define the Original Recipe, and the first franchise opened near Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1952. The brand officially adopted the shorter “KFC” name in 1991.

Today, KFC is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands and operates more than 30,000 restaurants in over 150 countries, making it one of the largest fried chicken chains in the world.
