Chicken Drumstick Original Recipe (KFC) (1 Serving)

Choose a smaller portion of the chicken and avoid adding fries, biscuits, mashed potatoes, or sugary drinks.

Remove some or all of the breading/skin, which can reduce the refined flour and fat consumed with the drumstick.

Pair it with a non-starchy vegetable side such as green beans, broccoli, cabbage slaw without sweet dressing, or a leafy salad.

Use a vinegar- or lemon-based dressing on vegetables rather than sweet sauces, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ketchup.

Drink water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead of soda, sweet tea, lemonade, or a milkshake.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after the meal if appropriate for you; light movement can help reduce the post-meal rise.
