Mac & Cheese Bowl Complete Information

The KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl costs $6.19 and carries 660 cal, with 30g of protein. It is macaroni cheese under crispy chicken nuggets and a three-cheese blend, served in a bowl and eaten with a fork. Where the Famous Bowl layers gravy over potato, this one goes all in on dairy: the sauce is the whole base rather than a topping, and the nuggets sit on it rather than in it, which keeps some crunch alive for the first half of the bowl.

The sodium is the figure to know. At 1,969mg it is 86 percent of a day's allowance in one bowl, which is what happens when cheese sauce and fried chicken share a container. Set against that, 30g of protein makes it one of the more filling single items on the Pot Pies & Bowls menu. It suits a cold day and a solo lunch. If you want the same format with more going on, the Famous Bowl adds corn and gravy for a similar price. Run both through the nutrition calculator before deciding.

KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl Recipe

The bowl is easy; the mac is where it is won or lost. A sauce made properly from a roux stays glossy and clings to the pasta, and a sauce made from cheese melted into cream splits and goes grainy the moment it cools. Everything else here is assembly.

Tips

  • Undercook the pasta. This is the single most common mistake and it is not recoverable.
  • Cheese goes in off the heat. Every grainy cheese sauce you have ever eaten was boiled.
  • Fry the nuggets last. They lose their crunch to steam faster than anything else in the bowl.

Variations

  • Stir a spoon of the pasta water into the sauce if it tightens too much before serving.
  • Add smoked paprika to the nugget flour for a deeper colour and a smokier finish.
  • Use the same mac as a side dish on its own and skip the chicken entirely.

Serve it with

  • A sharp green salad, which the bowl badly needs and never comes with.
  • Hot sauce on the table for anyone who wants to cut the richness.
  • Four bowls at home cost a fraction of four at $6.19 each.

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

KFC Nutrition Facts

Mac & Cheese Bowl Questions

$6.19 at a typical US restaurant, which puts it just under the Pot Pie and just over the Famous Bowl.

660 cal, with 30g of protein and 1,969mg of sodium. That sodium figure is 86 percent of the FDA daily value, which is the number worth carrying away.

The base. This one is macaroni cheese; the Famous Bowl is mashed potato with gravy and corn. Both are topped with the same fried chicken pieces.

For most people, yes. At 30g of protein and a substantial carbohydrate base it eats like a full lunch rather than a side dish, which is more than its size suggests.

At that point you have ordered a Mac & Cheese side, which costs considerably less. Ask for that instead.
