What to order at KFC

Best bet: Kentucky Grilled Chicken with green beans

Main options

  • Kentucky Grilled Chicken where available — order individual pieces to control portion
  • With fried chicken, removing most of the skin and breading helps
  • Make the chicken the main event and keep the portion sensible

Sides

  • Green beans — the lowest glycemic vegetable here
  • Coleslaw, small
  • Corn on the cob, small
  • French fries, smallest size, if you want them

Drinks

  • Water
  • Unsweetened iced tea

Guidelines, not medical advice. Menus change — check current nutrition information where it matters.
