Overview

With KFC known for its fried chicken, it’s quite ironic that we need to find anything but this on the menu. Thankfully, this establishment offers grilled chicken options along with sides that are manageable for our objectives.

Recommendations

Full Order

Grilled Chicken — this chicken is grilled instead of fried, which means you’ll have less intake of bad fats, avoid losing nutrients in the cooking process, and reduce butter intake

Sweet Kernel Corn — assists in digestion, promotes nerve health and improves cognitive function

Green Beans — anti-inflammatory, facilitates digestion and controls diabetes by maintaining blood sugar levels

Potato Wedges

If you feel that this isn’t enough to keep you full, you can consider adding potato wedges to your order. This side is not as nutritious and there’s a ton of sodium compared to the corn and green beans, but it still has health benefits and will help keep you full.
