Chicken Thigh Original Recipe (KFC) (1 Serving)

Choose a smaller portion of the breaded chicken thigh, or remove some of the breading and skin to reduce the refined starch and fried fat load.

Pair the chicken with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans, salad greens, cucumber, or cauliflower instead of fries, biscuits, or sweetened sides.

Add a fiber-rich side such as lentils or chickpeas in a modest portion to help make glucose changes more gradual.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweet tea, sauces, and desserts with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Eat slowly and include a small amount of unsweetened plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds if you need a more balanced meal.

If you repeatedly experience low glucose symptoms after this meal, track the timing and discuss it with a clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
