Popcorn Chicken — KFC

Is the Popcorn Chicken a good deal?

At a typical $4.99, the Popcorn Chicken at KFC gives you 620 calories and 23g of protein — 4.6g of protein and 124 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 70/100, which ranks it #191 of the 1023 comparable items we've priced across every chain (the typical comparable item returns about 2.8g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — sodium runs high (1,970mg). If you want more for your money elsewhere on our value rankings, 3 Tacos al Carbon Combo at El Pollo Loco scores higher (89/100 value, $6.99).
