Small portion of our regular Popcorn chicken pieces. Get poppin’
The £2.19 figure came from a third party listing rather than from KFC, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About KFC SMALL POPCORN CHICKEN
How to order SMALL POPCORN CHICKEN 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 SMALL POPCORN CHICKEN price in 2026
The KFC SMALL POPCORN CHICKEN price in 2026 is £2.19 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from KFC, so read it as a ceiling. Within the just chicken section that puts it 2nd of 4 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
What 142 kcal means here
142 kcal is well below the just chicken average. On its own it is a small addition to a day rather than a meal. 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.
Protein for the calories
It gives 5.8g 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 4th of 4 in its section.
Allergens declared
KFC declares 2 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: celery and cereals containing gluten. It also lists eggs, milk, 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.
Where it sits on price
1 item costs less than this one in the just chicken section and 2 cost more, out of 4 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is 2 HOT WINGS at £1.29, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
Pro Tips for Ordering SMALL POPCORN CHICKEN
Ordering it at the counter
Ask for it without one element, or without a sauce, and the total drops below the published figure. Staff handle that request routinely. The number in the table is the standard build as KFC makes it. The item on its own rather than as a meal is the larger saving on both price and energy.
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.
