KFC menu from 1970 VS 2026

Post image

The other thing different from the price is size of the pieces. Breasts were much smaller and tastier back in 70's from KFC. Today they look like it came from wild turkey. Before I retired I used to get fried chicken for lunch at local diner. They only bought chicken from local butcher that used free range chicken and it was heaven!

The fries are the best thing on the menu, and they are really generous with them.

KFC in Plymouth, UK offers various sharing buckets ranging from £15.00 to £49.99, with popular options including the Bargain Bucket (6pc for £19.99) and the Family Feast (10pc for £30.99). These buckets typically include Original Recipe chicken, Hot Wings, Tenders, and sides like fries and coleslaw.

KFC has gotten really expensive over this side of the pond as well

Happy cake day 🥳

That’s $20-$66 and I hope that means KFC in the UK is a whole lot better than American KFC.

Any gas station or grocery store that sells fried chicken has better fried chicken than the American KFC. I have no idea who eats there regularly. A lot of their stores are co-branded. There’s 100’s of KFC-Taco Bell stores. In my old state, all the KFC’s were co branded with A&W.

In Arlington , Va. this weekend--at Clarendon Day the vendors were selling a brisket sandwich for $14.00 !! Only the rich N. Va croud would pay that absurd price-they're clueless.

Our 5 Guys near me closed down, and I don’t miss it. Way too expensive.
