KFC Menu & Prices 2026: Buckets, Tenders, Sandwiches, Bowls & Combos
A bucket of chicken and a bucket meal can have very different totals. Start with what is included: chicken alone, a combo for one, or a bundle with sides and biscuits. Below are U.S. menu options and prices KFC has publicly announced, followed by a guide to checking the exact menu at your restaurant.

Box Feasts: what the $7, $9 and $11 meals include
KFC's March 30, 2026 announcement gives these three starting points. Each includes fries and a medium drink:
| Advertised price | Main items |
|---|---|
| $7 | One KFC Snacker and five nuggets |
| $9 | Two KFC Snackers and five nuggets |
| $11 | One chicken sandwich and two tenders |
Prices and participation vary. KFC states that prices are higher in Alaska, Hawaii, California and on third-party ordering sites; tax, tip and fees are extra. Official Box Feast announcement.
Chicken buckets and family meal prices
Build a Bucket was announced at $20 on February 24, 2026. Choose eight pieces of dark-meat chicken or eight tenders, with four individual sides and four biscuits. Four sauces come with the tenders option. Breast substitutions cost extra. Prices can be higher in Alaska, Hawaii, California and through third parties; participation varies and fees are extra. KFC's Build a Bucket details.
The $10 weekday bucket is a different offer with a different selection each day. Check the Monday–Friday schedule for the contents and conditions. Do not assume a chicken-only special includes the sides and biscuits shown in a family meal.
For regular eight-, twelve- or sixteen-piece orders, select a restaurant on KFC.com to see which chicken-only and meal options it offers. There is no single national price we can confirm for every size. If you are feeding a group, compare the number of pieces and side portions rather than relying on an unverified “feeds six” label.

Sandwiches, tenders, bowls and sides
Chicken, tenders, nuggets, sandwiches, bowls, Pot Pies and sides are listed in the KFC menu on DoorDash. That page labels its prices as location estimates. Use it to browse categories, then check your chosen restaurant for recipes, combinations and a firm total.
- Chicken, tenders or nuggets: check whether the listing is pieces only or a meal with sides. A larger piece count does not tell you the total amount of food by itself.
- Sandwich or combo: compare the sandwich alone with the version that includes a side and drink. Check the chosen recipe and any extra toppings.
- Bowl or Pot Pie: look at the item description and the combo option before adding a separate drink.
- Sides: individual and large portions are different products. Match the portion size when comparing a bundle with separate items.
For limited-time products, including the August Hot Ranch lineup, see KFC's recent menu announcements. A picture from an old menu is not proof that an item is still sold.
How to get the price you will actually pay
1. Open the official U.S. KFC website and choose a restaurant.
2. Select pickup or delivery, then choose the exact item and portion size.
3. Review substitutions, extras, tax and fees before paying. If you are comparing a delivery app, compare its final basket total too.

Menu questions
What is the KFC $7 meal?
The advertised $7 Box Feast is the Snacker-and-nuggets option in the comparison above. Confirm the price at your restaurant; it is not a promise that every KFC meal costs $7.
How many pieces come in the $20 bucket?
Eight pieces, with the choice and extras listed in the family-meal section above.
What is the cheapest KFC meal?
It depends on the restaurant, the offers you qualify for and what you need in the meal. Compare a complete box with a smaller item plus separate sides and a drink. Check KFC coupons and offer conditions before deciding.
