KFC
calories & menu.

Every piece, every side. Build a bucket and see the total.

KFC is a piece-by-piece menu, which makes calorie counting easier than most chains once you know the pieces. An Original Recipe breast is 390 cal / 39g protein — one of the highest protein-to-calorie sandwiches in fast food, if you skip the bun. Extra Crispy adds about 140 cal on the same breast. Nashville Hot adds another 60 for the sauce. This page has the full US menu with published values, plus a builder for building a meal — pick pieces of chicken, add sides, a biscuit, a drink. The famous mashed potatoes and gravy: 130 cal, one of the best side plays on any fast-food menu.
