KFC is harder to navigate. The grilled chicken that used to anchor the menu is gone from most locations, but where it's still carried, the grilled breast is one of the highest-protein options at any fast-food chain. Everywhere else, Original Recipe pieces and Extra Crispy Tenders are your best protein.

Tips

→Check the KFC app before going; grilled chicken availability is listed by location.
→If grilled chicken is not available, Original Recipe pieces are the next best option, breast and drumstick have the best protein ratios.
→Extra Crispy Tenders are a reliable fallback at any location; 2-piece keeps you under 300 calories.
→Stick to one piece of chicken, not two; portion control is the main challenge here.
→Water and diet sodas are both zero-calorie and work well here.

New to GLP-1?

In your first few months, only visit a KFC location that you have confirmed carries grilled chicken. If your location does not have it, order a single Original Recipe drumstick or a 2-piece Extra Crispy Tenders and keep it at that.
