KFC Regular Potato & Gravy

KFC Regular Potato & Gravy

There are 71 calories in each serve of KFC Regular Potato & Gravy. They’re not called “Mashed Potato”, probably because they’re not mashed in the traditional sense. It might not be the healthiest food on this list, but this is KFC’s lowest calorie menu item.

KFC Regular Coleslaw

KFC Regular Coleslaw

There are 97 calories in each serve of KFC Regular Coleslaw. Most of the calories in the coleslaw come from the creamy, mayo-like sauce which gives this product its distinctive tangy flavour.

KFC Gravy

KFC Gravy

There are 99 calories in each serve of KFC Gravy. Please bear that in mind before you order it as a dipping or pouring accompaniment to your chicken and chips.

KFC Dinner Roll

KFC Dinner Roll

There are 110 calories in each serve of KFC Dinner Roll. There is not much to say about this item – it is a standard commercial bread roll topped with some sesame seeds.

KFC 1 Piece of Chicken

KFC 1 Piece of Chicken

There are 215 calories in each serve of “one piece” KFC Chicken. Of course, this is an estimated value which has been calculated by sampling a statistically significant number of different serves. A large chicken thigh has far more calories than a wing, for example.

KFC Original BBQ Slider

KFC Original BBQ Slider

There are 246 calories in each serve of KFC Original BBQ Slider. Note that this BBQ slider is the lowest calorie slider, on account of not having a creamy-mayo style sauce. That creamy-mayo style sauce will get you every time.

KFC Original Supercharged Slider

KFC Original Supercharged Slider

There are 261 calories in each serve of KFC Original Supercharged Slider. That’s right, the difference between the Supercharged sauce and the BBQ sauce is 15 calories.

KFC Original Pepper Mayo Slider

KFC Original Pepper Mayo Slider

There are 280 calories in each serve of KFC Original Pepper Mayo Slider. It has 34 calories more than the BBQ Slider, so unless you just have to taste the Pepper Mayo sauce, we recommend that you stick with the BBQ variant.

KFC Regular Chips

KFC Regular Chips

There are 284 calories in each serve of KFC Regular Chips. Given the choice between thicker-cut chips like these and the popular “shoestring fries” from other fast-food outlets, choose these. Thicker cuts result in less potato surface area being in contact with the seed oil, resulting in fewer calories and more unadulterated potato.

Original Mashies 6 Piece

One Original Mashies 6 Piece serve has 303 calories (1269kJ), including 40g carbs, 13.5g fat, and 5.5g protein.

KFC 6 Nuggets

KFC 6 Nuggets

There are 319 calories in each serve of KFC 6 Nuggets. It is easy to overeat nuggets because they are bite-sized and fast-swallow. Chew them slowly and do not be tempted to order the larger packs.

KFC Hot Rods

Each serve of KFC Hot Rods includes two mini skewers of coated fried chicken, good for 354 calories per. This is a limited-time menu item so it might not be available when you turn up at the counter.

KFC Chocolate Mousse

KFC Chocolate Mousse

There are 363 calories in each serve of KFC Chocolate Mousse. This mousse is very calorie-dense. Furthermore, in our opinion it does not even taste very “chocolatey”. Try to avoid.

3 Pieces Hot & Crispy

There are 387 calories (1620kJ) in a serve of 3 Pieces Hot & Crispy. The serve has 22.5g fat, 25.5g protein, and 20.5g of carbs.

KFC 3 Wicked Wings

KFC 3 Wicked Wings

There are 396 calories in each serve of KFC 3 Wicked Wings. The wings have a relatively high batter-to-meat ratio, so three of them come close in calorie count to a regular KFC chicken sandwich. If you decide to eat 3 Wicked Wings as a side, bear in mind that it is almost the same as having an extra burger.

Zinger Crunch Bowl

One Zinger Crunch Bowl has 399 calories (1672kJ). You’ll get 24.8g carbohydrates, 24g protein, and 21.7g fat from this 276 gram serve.

KFC 3 Original Tenders

KFC 3 Original Tenders

There are 405 calories in each serve of KFC 3 Original Tenders. With similar proportions to the Wicked Wings, these Tenders are calorie dense. Unlike the wings, they are boneless so pack more calories.

KFC Original Recipe Burger

KFC Original Recipe Burger

KFC Regular Popcorn Chicken

KFC Regular Popcorn Chicken

KFC Zinger Bacon & Cheese Burger

Calorie Ranked Menu of KFC

On the whole, KFC calories are less scary than than several of their competitors like McDonald’s. For comparison, McDonald’s has 20+ individual food items which contain more than 500 calories each, whereas KFC has less than 10. That said, please be aware that KFC is notorious for their BOXES, BUCKETS and COMBOs. When KFC bundles products, do so very aggressively. Our advice is to steer well clear of the meal deals and just order individual menu items if you do find yourself standing at the Colonel’s counter.
