Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Menu Prices: USA, November 2026

KFC menu with prices at a glance

KFC in the US is built around bone-in fried chicken, but most orders today are tenders, nuggets, sandwiches, bowls and combos. The typical price in the table is the middle value across all the restaurants we checked: half charge less, half charge more. The range shows the cheapest and the most expensive price we found for the same menu item.

Because every price on this page comes from delivery menus, read it as the price you pay on a delivery app before the delivery fee and the service fee. KFC does not publish counter prices, so we do not guess them: the same item at the counter, in the drive-thru or in the KFC app for pickup is usually a little cheaper.

KFC chicken menu: bucket prices

The chicken menu sells fried chicken by the piece and by the bucket. A single breast costs $4.79 as an add-on, a drumstick or thigh $4.22. Buying by the bucket brings the price per piece down from about $3.20 in an 8 piece to $2.89 in a 16 piece, so a KFC bucket price is the cheapest way to buy chicken on the KFC menu. Double Crispy Hot Wings are sold in boxes of 6, 12 and 20.
