KFC Secret Menu with Prices

KFC secret menu

Poutine and the Build-Your-Own Bowl start from parts already behind the KFC counter, which is what makes them orderable at all. The KFC secret menu works by describing a build rather than naming it, because none of these reach a board. Cheese curds, gravy and mashed potato do most of the work.

Every build here rests on a menu item carrying its own figure, and that is what the counter charges for it. Adding gravy or biscuits to an order does not create a new item. Staff are under no obligation to make any of them.

The short answer

The KFC secret menu is a short list of builds assembled from items already on the board. Poutine puts cheese curds and gravy over Secret Fries. Build-Your-Own Bowl keeps the Famous Bowl container and changes what goes into it. Biscuits and mashed potatoes go onto an order as extras.

KFC Secret Menu Items and How to Order Them

KFC Secret Menu builds below each name the item they start from, so the figure beside them is the board figure for that item. Asking for the nickname works in some restaurants and draws a blank in others. Describing the build gets it made either way.

Every figure below belongs to the item the build starts from, not to the build. The KFC estate is mostly franchisee-owned, so stock differs from one restaurant to the next.

KFC Secret Menu Bowls and Fries

Poutine takes an order of Secret Fries and buries it under cheese curds and gravy. Build-Your-Own Bowl keeps the Famous Bowl container and changes what goes into it. Both depend on the restaurant carrying the parts, so a smaller site may turn either one down. Neither name reaches the till. Secret Fries and the Famous Bowl container both carry figures of their own.

KFC Secret Menu Add-Ons

Biscuits and mashed potatoes already sell as sides, which is why they can be added to almost anything. Asking for either on top of an entree order charges the side’s own figure. Neither ask changes what the kitchen has to make. Gravy comes as an order of its own as well, which is what makes the pairing simple.

KFC Secret Menu FAQs

Describe the build instead of the nickname. Ask for Secret Fries with cheese curds and gravy over them, or for a Famous Bowl made with the toppings you want.

Yes. Every build on it is assembled from items KFC already stocks, which is why a kitchen can make one at all. None of them appear on a board or in the app.

Yes. Ask for a Double Down with an extra layer of chicken, bacon and cheese on top of it. Availability depends on the restaurant carrying a Double Down at the time.

A chicken filled pocket covered in cheese, corn and gravy. Only a smaller set of restaurants carry the parts for it, which makes it the hardest build here to get made.

Each build carries the price of the item it starts from. Poutine runs $3.79 as an order of Secret Fries, and Build-Your-Own Bowl $6.59 as a Famous Bowl.

No. The names come from customers rather than from KFC, so a counter is unlikely to recognise them. Describing what goes into the build works everywhere.

Yes. Mashed potatoes sell as a side already, so they can go on top of an item. Biscuits work the same way, two to an order.
