Everything You Need to Know About KFC 1 PC ORIGINAL RECIPE PIECE
How to order 1 PC ORIGINAL RECIPE PIECE at KFC
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The KFC app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under just chicken. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
KFC 1 PC ORIGINAL RECIPE PIECE price in 2026
There is no verified KFC 1 PC ORIGINAL RECIPE PIECE price for 2026. KFC prices per branch and publishes no national list for it, so the accurate figure is the one your own branch shows in 2026. Any site quoting a single exact national price for this item is guessing, and we would rather show the gap.
Protein for the calories
It gives 9.1g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 3.8g across everything we hold for KFC. That is a strong ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 1st of 4 in its section.
Allergens declared
KFC declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs and milk. It also lists celery, sesame and soya as a possible trace, meaning KFC cannot rule those out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Finding it near you
We list 890 KFC branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Northern Ireland postcode area holding the most at 32. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The KFC app confirms it in seconds.
What 241 kcal means here
241 kcal is a little below the just chicken average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Pro Tips for Ordering 1 PC ORIGINAL RECIPE PIECE
Ordering it
The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at KFC rather than an awkward one.
