| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | $6.70 | Calories vary by add-ons | Not vegan; not keto | Bun and breading — wheat; spice blend may contain allergens |
Turn into a combo: add a side and a drink at checkout to make it a full meal. Note: adding fries, gravy, or a sugary drink can raise calories quickly.
- Dietary note: sandwiches typically are not gluten-free due to buns and breading.
- Customization basics: ask for sauce on the side, skip extra cheese, and choose lighter sides to lower calories.
- Tip: many sandwiches use original recipe chicken for the patty; request modifications where available.
Sides That Complete Your Lunch
Small sides add big flavor; choose wisely to balance richness and calories. This short guide compares common sides, price points, and how each choice affects a plate.

Fries and loaded builds
Secret Recipe Fries cost $3.40. Plain fries are the lower-calorie pick among fried sides.
When fries are used in loaded bowls, the style shifts—think crispy fries piled and topped. Those builds can add cheese, gravy, and nuggets. That makes calories climb fast compared with plain fries.
Mashed potatoes: gravy or no gravy
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy ($3.40) add richness via a pour of gravy. Mashed Potatoes (No Gravy) ($3.40) keep texture with fewer calories and less sodium.
Mac & Cheese and Cole Slaw
Mac & Cheese ($3.40) is creamy comfort. Cole Slaw ($3.40) offers a tangy, lighter crunch. Pair one heavy and one light to balance the meal.
Cheese Curds and Potato Wedges
Cheese Curds ($3.40) — Cal. 350 — are poppable and very dairy-forward. Expect dairy allergens for coated cheese curds. Potato Wedges ($3.40) are a sturdier fry alternative that pairs well with tenders or pieces.
- Build your plate: choose one comfort side (mac, curds, or loaded fries) and one lighter item (cole slaw or no-gravy mash).
- Price note: most sides listed here are $3.40 each; check checkout for local variation.
| Item | Price | Calories | Vegan/Keto/Gluten-Free | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secret Recipe Fries | $3.40 | Varies | Not vegan; not keto | Cooked with shared oil—wheat possible |
| Mashed Potatoes & Gravy | $3.40 | Varies (higher with gravy) | Not vegan; not keto | Dairy; gravy may contain gluten |
| Mac & Cheese | $3.40 | Varies | Not vegan; not keto | Milk, Wheat |
| Cheese Curds | $3.40 | 350 | Not vegan | Dairy, Wheat (breading) |
| Potato Wedges | $3.40 | Varies | Not vegan; check seasoning | Cooked with shared oil—cross-contact possible |
Sauces, Flavors, and Dunked Options
Small sauce swaps make big flavor and calorie differences for tenders and nuggets. Decide if you want an even coating or a controlled dip before ordering.
What “dunked” means for tenders
Tenders dunked original coatings are fully sauced before boxing. That boosts flavor intensity and adds calories and stickiness.
Side-served sauces keep tenders crisp longer and let you control portions for a lighter meal.
Original Honey BBQ and honey bbq pc. tenders
The original honey bbq blend tastes sweet, tangy, and smoky. Ordering honey bbq pc. tenders dunked gives uniform glaze and a bolder bite.
Mike’s Hot Honey flavor
Mike Hot Honey pairs sweetness with chili heat. It’s a strong pick when you want bold contrast without extra sides.
Choosing served dipping sauces
- Pick by spice tolerance and calories: creamy sauces add fat; vinegar-based are lighter.
- Most tenders combos include two served dipping sauces; 8 pc. tenders only often includes four.
- Allergen caution: sauces can contain soy, dairy, or other allergens—check item details.
Lighter lunch tip: request sauce on the side or choose a single portion to cut calories and mess.
| Item | Sauce Count | Calories Impact | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–5 pc. tenders combo | 2 | Moderate | Soy, Dairy possible |
| 8 pc. tenders only | 4 | Higher (if dunked) | Soy, Dairy possible |
| Single tenders (side sauce) | 1 (optional) | Lower if sauce on side | Varies by sauce |
Nutrition Facts Guide for KFC Lunch Choices
Calories on combos often show ranges because add-ons change totals. When a listing says it “includes drink choice” or “includes medium drink,” your final calories will shift a lot with size and side swaps.
Why calorie ranges vary
Bases like bowls usually have a stable core calorie count. Tenders scale by piece count and sauces. Sandwiches sit between those two before sides are added.
Quick comparison
Bowls: defined base calories, then add cheese or gravy. Tenders: calories jump with 3→4→5 pieces and dipping sauces. Big Box and tenders combos show the widest ranges.
Build a lighter lunch
- Pick a smaller main and skip extras.
- Choose a low-cal side and ask for sauces on the side.
- Swap sugary drinks for water or a zero-cal option; skip the served buttery biscuit to save calories.
| Item | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Famous Bowl (base) | 590–1020 | Drink and sides change total |
| 3 pc. Tenders Combo | 820–1440 | Sauces and biscuit affect calories |
| 5 pc. Tenders Big Box | 1270–2230 | Largest range due to sides/drink |
Dietary lens: keto-lean diners should favor protein and avoid breaded items and buns. Gluten-free choices are limited due to breading and shared fryers. Vegan options are rare.
What’s Included in a KFC Lunch Combo
A combo bundles a main, a drink, and sometimes a side so you know what to expect at checkout. That simple structure reduces surprises and speeds ordering.

Includes drink choice vs includes medium drink
Includes drink choice means you can pick any size or type at checkout. Choosing a larger soda or a specialty drink will raise calories and price.
Includes medium drink locks in a medium-sized beverage, so calorie estimates are closer to final totals and fewer surprises appear at checkout.
Buttery biscuit medium drink phrasing
When an item lists biscuit medium drink, expect the combo to include a warm biscuit plus a medium beverage. That phrasing usually signals a standard combo build rather than bowl-only or tenders-only offers.
Side choice and sauce counts on tenders combos
Tenders combos typically include a side choice, a served buttery biscuit, and two sauces. Larger orders, like 8 pc. tenders only, often come with four served dipping sauces.
- Mini-checklist for ordering: confirm drink size, confirm side choice, confirm sauce count, and check for upcharges.
- Dietary reminder: biscuits commonly contain wheat and dairy, and sauces may add dairy or soy. Sides can introduce other allergens—verify ingredient lists if you have sensitivities.
| Combo Element | Typical Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Main | Sandwich, bowl, tenders | Core calories and allergens |
| Drink | Includes drink choice / includes medium drink | Alters final calorie total |
| Extras | Side choice, served buttery biscuit, served dipping sauces | Affects price and allergen exposure |
Delivery and Pickup for Lunch in the United States
Ordering delivery or pickup has a few easy steps that keep your meal predictable and on time.
Ordering delivery through Uber Eats: how it works
Step-by-step: open Uber Eats, pick a nearby KFC location, browse categories, customize items, and add them to your cart. Confirm address and place the order. You can track the driver in-app until the food arrives.
Transparent pricing and why delivery menu prices may differ
Transparent pricing in-app shows item prices, customizations, and fees before checkout so you can budget. Delivery listings sometimes list higher prices than in-store due to service fees, delivery commissions, and platform adjustments. Always review the final total before confirming.
Scheduling delivery vs ordering now
Uber Eats lets you order now or schedule for later where available. Schedule ahead for office meals or meetings to avoid the noon rush. Order now if you want food immediately, but expect longer waits during peak hours.
- Pickup can cut delivery fees and may be faster at busy times.
- Double-check store hours and item availability before ordering.
- Tip: place orders a few minutes before noon to beat the peak rush.
| Flow | Why it matters | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Select store & items | Ensures availability | Check local hours |
| Review pricing | See fees and total | Compare pickup vs delivery |
| Schedule or order now | Controls timing | Schedule for group orders |
Deals, Value, and Ordering Tips to Save at Lunch
Smart ordering saves money—here’s how to spot value deals and stack promos before you check out.
Using “free with purchase” promos
Some delivery listings show a “free with $10 purchase” promo. It means a qualifying order over $10 can include one free item. Limits apply: max one free item per order and the promo may exclude certain items.
Spot promos on the item card or in the cart before payment. If the free choice is low-cal or a small side, it can beat adding a paid extra.
Best value picks: bowls vs combos vs big boxes
Bowl-only items are often the cheapest filling option. They give a predictable base calorie count and cost less than a combo plus drink.
Combos add convenience: a main, side, and drink for one price. They suit single diners who want a full meal without extra clicks.
Big Box meals cost more but become a better value when you need bigger portions, two sides, or leftovers for later.
Group orders and shareable picks
The Wings and Wedges Fan Favorites Box is listed at $24.40 and works well for small groups. It simplifies ordering and can save per‑person cost versus individual combos.
Customizing without over-ordering
- Pick one indulgent add-on (like cheese curds) OR an extra sauce, not both.
- Build a budget: main + side + drink first, then add dessert only if totals allow.
- Compare pickup vs delivery totals—fees and markups can overturn a perceived deal.
| Item | Price (ref.) | Calories | Dietary / Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bowl-only (base) | $6.10 | 590–740 | Not vegan; contains wheat, dairy |
| Combo (main + side + drink) | $9–$12 | 700–1,200 | Varies by side; check sauces |
| Big Box (multi-piece) | $16–$19 | 1,200–2,200 | Not vegan; higher calories |
| Wings & Wedges Fan Favorites Box | $24.40 | Varies (shareable) | Contains wheat, dairy possible |
Quick checklist: look for “free with purchase” on item cards, set a main+side+drink budget, and compare final totals with delivery fees. That keeps value clear and avoids surprise charges.
Conclusion
Start smart: pick a featured combo to set a price target, then narrow by category—bowls, tenders, pieces, nuggets, or a sandwich—to match hunger and time.
Use listed prices as a guide and treat calorie ranges as flexible. Drinks, sides, and sauces change totals, so confirm final calories and price at checkout.
