Tips for ordering with allergies

All breaded chicken — bone-in, tenders, nuggets and popcorn chicken — lists wheat. There is no gluten-free chicken at KFC.
Sides vary a lot: check each allergen row rather than assuming. Biscuits and mac & cheese, for example, list both wheat and milk.
Dipping sauces have their own allergens: most list egg, and Sticky Chicky Sweet 'n Sour lists fish.
Check KFC's allergen information again whenever a limited-time item appears — new items are often not in older allergen charts.
