Original Recipe, Extra Crispy or Grilled?

The coating makes the difference at KFC. For every piece, Extra Crispy has the most calories and Kentucky Grilled has the fewest, with about the same protein. A grilled breast has roughly half the calories of an Original Recipe breast.

Sides and Sodium

Green beans are the lightest side on the chart and corn is close behind. Secret Recipe Fries carry the most sodium of any individual side, and a Famous Bowl alone comes close to a full day's 2,300 mg Daily Value of sodium. Tap More nutrients in the totals to see it.
