Now, I've definitely been told "no" before, but often they'll grant you your wish. When you go to KFC, do not get hypnotized by its delicious sides and just order them with every meal.
Ordering everything as a side is a rookie mistake, like trying to do a Friday New York Times crossword puzzle with a pen. Yeah, we can like KFC and still be highbrow! And how do you do that? Bacon is a staple menu item at basically every fast-food chain. KFC has it too, despite not having a ton of bacon-filled dishes. But it's there! Next time you go, add bacon to whatever you'd like, whether it be a Famous Bowl or a Chicken Littles sandwich.
Yes, you can order those tasty mostly unloved parts of the chicken deep-fried at KFC. Here's the catch: The offal are not available in every region. In the regions where they're available, they're on the menu and beloved. But not elsewhere. You'd think they'd be available in all the Southern states, as fried gizzards are a traditional Southern food, but that's not true either! We spoke to a store in Tennessee that had 'em, but one in Mississippi didn't!
The only way to find out is to ask. And once you do, maybe you'll soon be enjoying some deep-fried chicken parts. Back in , everyone and their momma was eating the KFC Double Down, which is two fried chicken filets instead of bread, plus bacon, two different kinds of cheese, and a drizzle of Colonel's Special Sauce. It's no longer on KFC menus. But that doesn't mean you can't order it! KFC still has all the ingredients other than the Colonel's sauce, which is a mayo- and ketchup-based condiment.
Adding a grilled chicken breast would add extra protein and make for one of the healthiest possible meals on the menu. Just be sure to choose your dressing wisely. Surprisingly, the heavy cream-based buttermilk dressing is a much smarter option than any of the fat-free dressings , which are packed with tons of sodium and sugar to compensate for their lack of fatty flavor.
As Ojoatu points out, the fourth ingredient in each of the fat-free dressings is salt, listed well before other seasonings like garlic and onion. She also suggests using half of the packet of buttermilk dressing.
If you can't go without dunking, this is the sauce for you. It's got nearly the same amount of calories as ketchup with less than half the sodium. Though, as Ojoatu notes, milligrams for a dipping sauce is still alarming. Use any and all sauces sparingly. Not necessarily the darling of KFC's sweets docket, this oat-packed cookie contains the least amount of calories and fat than any other option.
But there has to be a trade-off," Ojoatu says. That means if you want dessert, don't get a combo to add on top of it. Swap out your carb-heavy side for a cookie instead. Oatmeal Raisin remind you too much of your grandparents?
Never, and obviously the colonel knows this. Amazing cheddar cheese with pasta is the only way to live life. At calories for a bowl, it is one of the healthier options that KFC has on offer.

It has some wedges and any other addition of your choosing, and reminds us of food that we binge at during softball games.
You can pick chicken little, popcorn nuggets, hot wings or crispy tenders depending on what you think goes well with wedges. We personally recommend the chicken popcorn or the crispy tenders. They taste great with the wedges and you will be getting plenty of go cups in the future.

If you do, you can pat yourself on the back. Then again, if you roll snake eyes, you will instantly rue your decision. Be sure to get some ranch dipping sauce with these chicken wings because you'll want to coat each wing with a lot of ranch if the sauce is a disappointment.

While this bowl of deliciousness is filled with a lot of ingredients that will please each of your taste buds, there's arguably too much going on at once. On top of that creaminess rests crispy chicken chunks, a generous amount of sweet corn, and a shredded blend of three types of cheeses.
The entire bowl is then blessed with homestyle gravy. While you will fully enjoy your first few spoonfuls, the enjoyment level eventually begins to dissipate.
By the end of the bowl, you'll just be glad to have finished it. You will feel each of those calories stick to your ribs almost instantaneously. Don't be surprised if you are unable to eat for the rest of the day. Instead of going with the KFC Famous Bowl, a better idea is to pick which of the ingredients you crave the most and eat it by itself.
