Biscuit Complete Information

A KFC Biscuit costs $1.59 and carries 180-2160 cal depending on how many you order. At that price it is the cheapest item on the Sides menu that is actual food, and it is a Southern buttermilk biscuit rather than a British one: soft, layered, savoury, meant to be torn rather than cut. It arrives warm, which is more than most of the menu manages.

Its real job is gravy. A biscuit exists on a KFC tray to finish what is left in the bottom of the Mashed Potatoes and Gravy tub, and eaten dry it is drier than people expect. Honey is the other traditional partner and most restaurants have packets behind the counter. Two biscuits and a side of gravy is one of the cheapest fillings meals on the menu, and it is vegetarian if the gravy stays off.

KFC Biscuit Recipe

A Southern biscuit is about cold fat and minimal handling. Every layer you can see in a good one is a sheet of butter that stayed solid until it hit the oven, and every minute of kneading takes one of those layers away.

Tips

  • Cold everything. Cold butter, cold buttermilk, and work fast. Heat is the enemy of every layer.
  • Do not twist the cutter. It is the single most common reason home biscuits come out squat.
  • Sit them close together on the tray. Biscuits with room to spread will spread.

Variations

  • Brush with honey butter as they come out for the sweet version.
  • Add grated sharp cheddar and a pinch of garlic powder to the dry mix.
  • Halve the sugar for a plainer, more savoury biscuit.

Serve it with

  • Split, with gravy poured over.
  • Honey, which is the other half of the tradition.
  • Eight home biscuits cost less than three at $1.59 each.

A home version of Biscuit. It is our own recipe, not KFC's, and the Original Recipe blend stays a trade secret.

Biscuit Questions

$1.59 for one, which makes it the cheapest real food on the menu.

180-2160 cal, the range covering a single biscuit up through the larger multi-packs.

The biscuit itself contains no meat. The Signature Brown Gravy everyone puts on it does, so the answer depends entirely on what you order with it.

Gravy, traditionally, or honey. Eaten dry it is drier than most people expect, which is why it comes with a chicken order rather than on its own.

Baked through the day in the restaurant, from a prepared dough. Which means the one you get depends on when in the batch cycle you arrive, and a biscuit straight from the oven is a different thing from one that has sat.
