KFC Popcorn Chicken: nutrition and allergens

Nutrition facts

Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from KFC’s published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means KFC does not publish that value for this item.

Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, one serving is high in sodium (86%), fat (53%), protein (46%) and saturated fat (25%) and is low in added sugars. Add it up with other items in the KFC nutrition calculator.

Allergens

According to KFC, the Popcorn Chicken contains milk, wheat and soy.

KFC says its kitchens handle egg, milk, soy, wheat and other allergens, items can be prepared on shared equipment, and it cannot rule out cross-contact. In some restaurants fish, chicken and potatoes may share fryer oil. Several items contain or are cooked in highly refined soybean oil, which the FDA does not treat as an allergen. KFC does not use peanuts or tree nuts, but says the Café Valley chocolate chip and lemon cakes may contain traces of tree nuts. Vegetarian ingredients are handled alongside meat. Allergen data reflects standard recipes and may vary with suppliers, substitutions and recipe changes. MSG is reported alongside the allergens.
