About KFC

KFC is the world's largest fried-chicken chain, built on the Colonel's Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices, plus the Famous Bowl, biscuits, and Nashville Hot Chicken.

Across more than 40 years of operation, the KFC menu has evolved into a mix of long-running classics and seasonal limited-time offers. The 10 items below are organized by menu category — appetizers and shareables first, then soups and salads, entrees, sides, desserts, and the bar program. Use the category links on each row to jump to a full comparison across every chain MenuDive covers.

If you are scanning prices ahead of a visit, note that KFC uses a $ price tier on MenuDive, with most entrees priced inside the range shown in each section. Lunch and weekday menus may apply lower fixed-price combos that are not always reflected in the standard dinner card. Where a chain runs a long-standing daily promotion (riblets at similar grill chains, Wing Tuesday at sports bars, Aussie 3-Course bundles at steakhouses) we have noted it inline.
