Every KFC item with published nutrition, in one table — the chain's own figures where it publishes them, the US government's where it doesn't. Nothing here is estimated.
The KFC menu spans 22 to 720 calories across the 35 items with published figures. Of the 88 items sold at a fifth or more of its restaurants, 17 have a published panel; the rest are named below as unpublished, because a figure with no source is left blank here, never filled in. For the same items ranked by calories see the KFC calories page.
