$1.29 or $1.49 is the recorded KFC biscuit price, and no two publishers agreed on a figure.
Four publishers produced four different readings of the KFC biscuit price, from $1.19 up to $1.79, with $1.29 and $1.49 tied in the middle of them. No other row in this section failed to produce a single repeated figure among its readings. Cheapest item recorded anywhere in the section, the biscuit is also the row where one published calorie claim collapses under the simplest arithmetic anyone could apply to it.

If something goes wrong
How much is one KFC biscuit?
- Cause
- Readings run $1.19, $1.29, $1.49 and $1.79, one from each publisher who priced it. The middle pair ties, so both are quoted rather than one being picked.
- Fix
- Budget around $1.40 and expect a local figure anywhere inside the band.
Why does every listing give a different biscuit price?
- Cause
- A cheap row attracts less checking. Small items also move with local pricing more visibly in percentage terms, since 20 cents on a biscuit is 15 per cent of it.
- Fix
- Treat any single biscuit price as approximate and compare it against the $1.19 to $1.79 band rather than against another list.
Are KFC biscuits really 2,160 calories?
- Cause
- No. One listing prints a range topping out at 2,160 for a single biscuit, which is exactly twelve times the 180 another publisher gives. A twelve-count total has been dropped into a single-item row.
- Fix
- Ignore both figures for planning. No company calorie count could be read, because the nutrition guide builds itself in the browser.
Can biscuits be bought by the dozen?
- Cause
- The company's menu structure carries the biscuit as a single row, and no multi-pack row appears in its published sitemap. The 2,160 calorie artefact does imply a twelve-count exists in some form.
- Fix
- Ask at the counter for a bucket of biscuits, which is not something the published record can price.
The cheapest row, and the least agreed one
What's in it
A single baked biscuit, sold alongside the hot sides. The display name comes from KFC's own URL slug and the company's page carries no description that could be read, so nothing about size, weight or ingredients is available first-hand.
Is it worth it
Four publishers priced this row and produced four different numbers: $1.19, $1.29, $1.49 and $1.79. Not one figure repeats.
That makes the biscuit the only row in this section where no two sources agreed on anything. Mac and cheese drew two identical readings, coleslaw and the fries drew two each, and every other priced side rested on a single sighting. Total disagreement across four separate readings is a different condition from having no data, and it points at genuine local variation rather than at a copying error.
Proportionally the spread is severe. Sixty cents separates the floor from the ceiling, which on a $1.19 base is 50 per cent. In absolute terms it is trivial, and that is the useful way to hold it: the biscuit will cost between one and two dollars and no published figure will get closer than that.
Because the middle values tie, $1.29 and $1.49 are both quoted here. Averaging them would produce $1.39, a figure no publisher recorded, which is the sort of tidy invention this record does not support.
The calorie problem in miniature
One published listing gives 180 calories for a biscuit. Another prints a range for the same item running from 180 up to 2,160.
Multiply 180 by twelve and the answer is 2,160 exactly. What has happened is that a twelve-count total has been fed into a single-item row, and the listing published it without noticing that one biscuit cannot carry the calories of a dozen. Neither figure is the company's. No company calorie count could be read for this item or any other, because the nutrition guide, the allergen page and the individual menu pages are all browser-built and return nothing countable.
That single row is the clearest argument on this site for keeping third-party nutrition out of the tables. A price that is 50 per cent wrong costs somebody sixty cents. A calorie figure that is twelve times wrong is a different order of error, and no reader can tell which kind they are looking at from the row alone.
For ordering, the biscuit remains the cheapest way to add anything to a KFC order. Nothing else in this section was recorded below $2.49, and even Pie Poppers, the cheapest sweet with a firm figure, costs more than the dearest biscuit reading.
Prices vary by restaurant and the company shows none of its own until a location has been selected.

Questions people ask
How much is a KFC biscuit?
Between $1.19 and $1.79 depending on the listing, with $1.29 and $1.49 tied for the middle. Four publishers produced four different figures for it.
Is the biscuit the cheapest item at KFC?
It is the cheapest in this section, where nothing else was recorded below $2.49. Dipping sauces carry only an approximate band of 25 to 29 cents, which is lower but not a firm price.
How many calories are in a KFC biscuit?
No company figure could be read. One listing gives 180 and another a range reaching 2,160, which is exactly twelve times 180 and therefore a bucket total in a single-item row.
Why can't a firm biscuit price be given?
Because the four readings never repeat. The middle two, $1.29 and $1.49, have equal claim to being typical, so both appear rather than an invented average between them.
Is this page an official KFC price list?
No. The biscuit is a real row in KFC's own published sitemap, but every price and both calorie claims on this page come from independent published US listings recorded in August 2026.
Can this site tell me the price at my local KFC?
It cannot. On a row this cheap, local variation swamps any national figure: 20 cents either way is 15 per cent of the price.
