KFC Beyond Fried Chicken Nuggets

KFC has finally launched its much-anticipated Beyond Fried Chicken Nuggets nationwide, which means that you can now enjoy a plant-based fried chicken option that tastes just like chicken but made entirely from plants at participating Kentucky Fried Chicken locations across the country.

While the amount of calories will vary a lot depending on the size of your meal, each plant-based Beyond Fried Chicken nugget comes in at just 80 calories a pop, making it an excellent option for those of you who are looking to lose weight.

With that said, Beyond Fried Chicken Nuggets are available in two sizes with calories ranging from 480 to 960 calories per serving.

According to KFC, plant-based chicken nuggets offer the same delicious flavor and the juicy satisfaction that you would expect from their iconic fried chicken, but in a plant-based option that the brand says is “still finger lickin’ good.”

Made mainly from soy protein, these plant-based fried nuggets have been designed to taste exactly like KFC’s fried chicken. Just take note that while Beyond Fried Chicken nuggets are plant-based, they’re “not prepared in a vegan/vegetarian manner.”
