Protein figures are KFC UK’s published data per item as sold. The adult daily reference intake is 50g. Protein is a target to reach rather than a limit to stay under, so a high figure here is not a warning. KFC publishes identical fat, carbohydrate and protein figures for all three Popcorn Chicken sizes; Boone shows them as published rather than estimating a corrected split. Discontinued items are excluded.
