MAIN COURSE
KFC definitely specializes in fried chicken. And maybe you’re looking to splurge a little for dinner. One piece of Original Recipe fried chicken breast is around 390 calories and 21g of fat. If you add in a side of green beans and corn on the cob, your meal would be about 490 calories and 22g grams of fat. Not too bad, right?
If you’re looking to stay on the lighter side, here are some meals for you. You’ll want to avoid the heavier sides, Famous Bowls, and fried chicken.
You could start with 2 pieces of the Kentucky Grilled Chicken breast, then add a side of mashed potatoes (no gravy) and a side of green beans. If you like dark meat, try the Kentucky Grilled Chicken Drumstick (2 pc) with coleslaw and sweet kernel corn. Or, you could opt for a 2 pc Kentucky Grilled Chicken Thigh meal with mashed potatoes and sweet kernel corn. Yum!
You could also customize your own meal with any selection of the Kentucky Grilled Chicken and lighter side options.
