FAQs
1. How is this bowl different from a side salad?
The Crunch Bowl is a full meal, not a side. It has Original Tenders™ (chicken), a big portion of slaw, corn chips, and creamy Pepper Mayo, making it filling and flavorful.
2. Is the Original Tenders™ Crunch Bowl healthy?
It has fresh vegetables, but it’s not very low in fat. The fried chicken, corn chips, and Pepper Mayo make it high in fat and energy, similar to some lighter burger meals.
3. Can I swap Original Tenders™ for Zinger Tenders?
Yes, some locations offer a Zinger Crunch Bowl, which uses spicy Zinger Tenders and may come with spicy sauce. Check if it’s available when ordering.
4. Can I get the Pepper Mayo on the side?
Yes. Asking for the dressing on the side lets you use less, which cuts down on fat and calories.
5. Are the corn chips made fresh at KFC?
No. The corn chips are usually pre-packaged and just added to the bowl. They are not fried in-store.
