KFC Sides & Biscuits Prices (2026)
KFC sides prices are the hardest part of the menu to publish honestly — here’s why. KFC publishes no prices, and the classic sides like biscuits, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw weren’t itemized with prices on the live DoorDash menus we checked (Louisville KY and Dallas TX, Oct 20, 2026). Drinks, though, came through clean. Prices are DoorDash delivery prices — in-store unverified, typically 10–30% less. Fountain drinks and tea run $3.65+ delivery; bottled water is $2.43–$3.04. For the sides themselves: check at your location.

Drinks are the exception among the sides: the price data is real. Fountain drinks and sweet tea came in at $3.65+ at both stores — the same floor as KFC’s Snacker items, interestingly. Bottled water actually varied ($2.43 in Dallas vs $3.04 in Louisville), which tells you even the simplest item on the menu is franchise-priced.
KFC Sides Prices: What We Couldn’t Verify
| Item | Delivery Price |
|---|---|
| Mashed Potatoes | Check at your location |
| Coleslaw | Check at your location |
| Gravy (side) | Check at your location |
| Biscuits | Check at your location |
No invented numbers in that table, even though it would be easy to fill in. The sides line wasn’t priced item-by-item on the menus we verified, so the honest entry is “check at your location.” If a site shows you exact prices for KFC mashed potatoes down to the cent, ask yourself where they got them — KFC’s own site doesn’t publish them either.
Why Sides Vary Most by Franchise
Sides are where KFC franchise pricing gets loosest. The big-ticket items — buckets, combos, chicken sandwiches — run on tighter regional templates (our verification showed several items priced identically at two stores 700 miles apart). Sides don’t. A biscuit is cheap to make and cheap to discount, so stores use them as flex items: bundled free here, a dollar-something there, bundled into family meals at a third store. That’s why a national sides price list can’t exist in good faith, and why “check at your location” is the correct answer rather than a cop-out.
The sides themselves are the classics: mashed potatoes with brown gravy, sweet-kernel coleslaw, buttermilk biscuits, and gravy by itself. Sizes also vary — individual cups vs large shareable tubs — and not every store stocks every size. When you order, the menu board or the app is the source of truth for your market; our KFC menu prices hub covers everything we could verify at the same two stores.
The Sides Worth Your Money (When You See the Price)
The mashed potatoes with gravy are the signature side for a reason — they’re creamy, the gravy is peppery, and they reheat well if you order too much. Biscuits are the other must: buttermilk, baked in-store, good enough that people order extras to take home. Coleslaw is the sleeper pick — sweet, crunchy, and the only cold side that cuts through all that fried chicken. If your store bundles sides into a Big Box (like the Popcorn Chicken Big Box on our popcorn chicken & nuggets page), the bundle is almost always cheaper than going à la carte.
How to Get Sides Cheaper
The math favors bundles. Family meals and feasts include sides by default, and the per-side cost inside a bundle is the lowest anywhere on the menu. Kids meals include a side-sized portion too — our KFC kids meals page breaks that down at $6.94. And if you’re comparing budget orders across chains before you commit, the value menus hub lays out the cheapest combos every chain runs right now.
KFC Sides & Biscuits — FAQs
How much are KFC fountain drinks?
$3.65+ delivery for fountain drinks and tea — identical at both stores we checked (Louisville KY and Dallas TX, Oct 20, 2026). The “+” is DoorDash’s from-price marker.
How much is bottled water at KFC?
$2.43–$3.04 delivery — Dallas at $2.43, Louisville at $3.04. Even bottled water is franchise-priced at KFC, which is why ranges matter more than single numbers.
How much do KFC mashed potatoes cost?
Check at your location. The menus we verified didn’t itemize a mashed potatoes price, and KFC publishes no prices — we won’t put a guessed number on it.
How much are KFC biscuits?
Check at your location. Biscuit pricing wasn’t itemized on the two delivery menus we checked, and biscuit prices vary a lot between franchises — some bundle them, some charge per piece.
How much is KFC coleslaw?
Check at your location. Coleslaw wasn’t separately priced on the verified menus. It’s commonly included inside bundles and family meals, which is the cheapest way to get it.
Why don’t you list prices for all the KFC sides?
Because we couldn’t verify them. KFC publishes no prices, and the sides weren’t itemized on the live menus we checked. Publishing invented numbers would be easy — and wrong.
Why do KFC side prices vary so much between stores?
Sides are the loosest part of franchise pricing. Cheap to make and easy to discount, they’re used as bundle and promo filler — so the same biscuit can be priced three different ways in three markets.
Are these KFC in-store prices or delivery prices?
Delivery. Every verified price on this page is from DoorDash storefronts (Oct 20, 2026). In-store runs unverified — KFC publishes nothing — and typically lands 10–30% less.
What’s the cheapest way to get KFC sides?
Inside a bundle. Family meals, feasts, and Big Boxes include sides at the lowest per-item cost. Kids meals at $6.94 also include a small side — see our KFC kids meals page.
What drink pairs best with KFC chicken?
Sweet tea is the classic — that’s why it’s priced with the fountain drinks at $3.65+. The full drinks table sits above; for more budget orders, check the value menus page.
