Green Beans Complete Information

KFC Green Beans cost $2.99 and carry 25-80 cal, which makes them the lightest item on the entire KFC menu. Slow cooked Southern style rather than crisp: soft, savoury, cooked down with seasoning until they give completely. Anyone expecting a bright green vegetable will be surprised, and anyone who grew up on Southern cooking will not.

On a menu where almost everything is fried, this is the honest answer to what to order when you are watching intake. It is the lightest side on the Sides menu by a clear margin in the individual portion. Worth checking at the restaurant if it matters to you: Southern green beans are traditionally cooked with pork, and KFC's own allergen record leaves several categories unassessed rather than declaring them absent.

This item may contain the following allergens

  • MSG

KFC Green Beans Recipe

Southern green beans are a slow braise, not a quick steam, and the point is that they surrender entirely. An hour in seasoned stock gets you there. This version stays meat-free, which is a choice the traditional recipe does not make.

Tips

  • Do not rush it. Forty-five minutes is what turns green beans into Southern green beans, and twenty gets you neither one thing nor the other.
  • The vinegar at the end is not optional. It is what stops a long braise tasting dull.
  • Use a wide pan. Beans crowded in a deep pot steam unevenly.

Variations

  • Add smoked bacon or a ham hock at the start, which is the traditional version.
  • Stir through toasted almonds at the end for texture against the softness.
  • Add a dried chilli to the braise for background heat.

Serve it with

  • Beside fried chicken as the one green thing on the tray.
  • With mashed potato and gravy for a full Southern plate.
  • A large batch costs about what one portion costs at $2.99.

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

Green Beans Questions

$2.99 for an individual portion, the same as the other standard sides.

25-80 cal, the lowest of anything on the KFC menu. Nothing else comes close in the individual size.

These. At 25-80 cal the green beans undercut every other side, every sandwich and every piece of chicken on the menu.

Ask at the restaurant. Southern-style green beans are traditionally slow cooked with pork, and KFC does not publish a clear answer for every market. Do not assume from the ingredient list alone.

Because they are cooked Southern style, which means simmered down until they give completely. It is a deliberate tradition rather than overcooking, though it surprises people expecting a crisp bean.
