Keto at KFC: Every Safe Order, With the Carbs Counted

3 diabetic-friendly picks • net carbs as modified • the orange lines are exactly what to say when you order.

KFC is very difficult for strict keto because the chicken items on this menu are breaded/fried unless explicitly labeled otherwise, and no grilled chicken option appears in the provided menu text. The only clear keto-friendly food side listed is green beans, and unsweetened tea is the safe drink choice. Avoid the chicken, sandwiches, bowls, biscuits, potatoes, corn, mac & cheese, beans, sweet coleslaw, and sugary drinks.
