KFC has been selling fried chicken in South Africa since 1971, and its Streetwise range, bucket meals, and Zinger burgers remain some of the most searched menu items in the country. This guide breaks down current KFC menu prices in South Africa across every category (from budget Streetwise combos to family-sized buckets), verified against the official price list, with clear pricing so you can plan an order in seconds.
KFC Meals Under R50
On a tight budget, the Snack Burger (R24.90) is the cheapest savoury item, the Snack Packs (R29.90) are the cheapest meals, and the Streetwise Two (R39.90) is the cheapest meal with chicken pieces. We have ranked everything under R50, worked out which combos still come in under R50 with a drink, and listed family meals near R100 on our cheapest KFC meals page.
Note: Mash & Gravy is not vegetarian: the gravy is made using meat stock.
The Streetwise Two at R39.90 is the best-value full combo under R50, since it’s the only item under R50 that includes both chicken and a side. If you just want a hot chicken fix for less, the Snack Burger at R24.90 is the cheapest item on the entire KFC menu.
Sharing Meals
KFC’s sharing meals are built for two to six people and sit between the Streetwise range and the full buckets in size. The 2 Can Dine Buddy is the smallest option, pairing chicken pieces with drinks for two, while the Family Treat and All In One Feast scale up with extra chips, coleslaw, and mash for a full family dinner. These combos are popular for weeknight dinners where nobody wants to cook, and for casual get-togethers where a single bucket alone wouldn’t stretch far enough. Because sides and drinks are bundled in, sharing meals usually work out cheaper per person than ordering the same items separately, worth comparing against a bucket-plus-sides order if you’re feeding a specific group size.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Family Treat 10Pc | R269.90 |
| Family Treat 8Pc | R239.90 |
| All In One Feast | R169.90 |
| Family Fiesta | R159.90 |
| 2 Can Dine Buddy | R144.90 |
| Big 6 Deal | R139.90 |
| 2 Can Dine Soda Fountain | R129.90 |
KFC Bucket Prices South Africa
Buckets are KFC’s signature format and come in three sizes: 9, 15, and 21 pieces of Original Recipe chicken. The kfc 9 piece bucket price suits a small family or a group of three to four, the 15 Piece works for a larger gathering, and the 21 Piece is aimed squarely at parties or big family dinners where leftovers are welcome. None of the bucket options include sides or drinks by default, so factor in a few chips and mash orders from the Sides menu below if you’re planning a full meal rather than chicken on its own. Per-piece, the larger buckets typically offer better value: see the cost breakdown in the Most Popular Items section further down.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| 21 Piece Bucket | R299.90 |
| 15 Piece Bucket | R239.90 |
| 9 Piece Bucket | R149.90 |

Box Meals
Box meals are KFC’s single-serve, all-in-one option and a wrap or burger paired with chips, a piece of chicken, or a drink depending on the box. The Fully Loaded and Wicked Zinger boxes are the most substantial, and these food boxes are built around a burger with extra chicken and sides, while the Wrapsta and All Star boxes are lighter, faster options for a quick lunch.
Each box is available in a standard or “Buddy” size, with Buddy versions adding a larger drink for a small price difference. If you’re deciding between a burger meal and a box, the box usually includes more food for a similar price, since it bundles in an extra piece of chicken alongside the main item.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Wicked Zinger Box Lrg Buddy | R112.90 |
| Fully Loaded Box Lrg | R107.90 |
| Wicked Zinger Box Buddy | R107.90 |
| Fully Loaded Box Buddy | R102.90 |
| Wicked Zinger Box | R102.90 |
| Fully Loaded Box | R97.90 |
| Dunked All Star Box Buddy | R92.90 |
| All Star Box Buddy | R84.90 |
| Dunked All Star Box | R82.90 |
| Wrapsta Box Buddy | R77.90 |
| All Star Box | R74.90 |
| Wrapsta Box | R67.90 |
Burgers
The burger lineup ranges from the entry-level Snack Burger to the Double Crunch Burger, KFC’s largest handheld option. The Zinger remains the standout for anyone who wants heat, with a spiced fillet and mayo, while the Colonel Burger is the milder, classic choice. The Hash Veggie Burger is currently the only meat-free burger on the menu, worth noting if you’re catering to a mixed group. Burgers can be ordered on their own or upgraded into a box meal (see above) for a few rand more, which adds a piece of chicken and chips and usually the better-value choice if you’re hungry enough to want a side.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Double Crunch Burger | R62.90 |
| New Zinger | R52.90 |
| New Colonel Burger | R49.90 |
| Hash Veggie Burger | R36.90 |
| Dunked Crunch Burger | R34.90 |
| Double Stack Burger | R32.90 |
| Crunch Burger | R29.90 |
| Snack Burger | R24.90 |
KFC South Africa is also running two limited-time burgers alongside the permanent range. Both are promotional items, so availability can end without notice and may vary by branch.
| Limited-Time Burger | Price |
|---|---|
| Portuguese Prego Burger | R69.90 |
| Argentinian Chimichurri Burger | R69.90 |
| Fully Loaded Portuguese Prego Buddy | R132.90 |
| Fully Loaded Argentinian Chimichurri Buddy | R132.90 |

Wraps
KFC’s wraps split into two families: the Boxmaster range, which wraps chicken fillet with sauces like Jalapeno or Doritos Cheese, and the Twister range, which is lighter and built around crispy strips with lettuce. The Wrapsta is the smallest and cheapest option, aimed at a snack rather than a full meal. Wraps travel well and don’t need cutlery, which makes them a common choice for lunch-on-the-go or drive-thru orders eaten in the car. If you want a heavier meal, the Boxmaster range is more filling than the Twisters gram for gram.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Boxmaster Zinger | R69.90 |
| Doritos Cheese Boxmaster | R69.90 |
| Boxmaster | R67.90 |
| Jalapeno Boxmaster | R67.90 |
| Dunked Boxmaster | R67.90 |
| Classic Twister | R59.90 |
| Sweet Chilli Twister | R59.90 |
| Wrapsta | R37.90 |
Streetwise Menu
Streetwise is KFC South Africa’s value range and one of the most-searched menu categories in the country, built specifically for budget-conscious diners. Options range from a single piece of chicken with a soda fountain drink (Streetwise Bucket For 1) up to Streetwise Five, which feeds a small group with chips included. Each Streetwise combo can be ordered with either chips or pap, a distinctly South African touch that isn’t offered on most of KFC’s other combo meals. For students, shift workers, or anyone ordering on a tight budget, this range is consistently the cheapest way to get a hot meal at KFC.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Streetwise Five With Chips | R99.90 |
| Streetwise 4 | R78.90 |
| Streetwise Three With Chips | R60.90 |
| Streetwise Three With Reg Pap | R60.90 |
| Streetwise Dunked Bucket For One | R47.90 |
| Streetwise Bucket For 1 | R42.90 |
| Streetwise Two With Chips | R39.90 |
| Streetwise Two With Reg Pap | R39.90 |
| Streetwise Snack Pack Pops | R29.90 |
| Streetwise Snack Pack Burger | R29.90 |
Wings
KFC’s wings come in two styles: Zinger, which are seasoned with the same spice blend as the Zinger burger, and Dunked, which are tossed in a tangy sauce after frying. Portion sizes scale from a 4-piece snack order up to the 24-piece Zinger Wings bucket, which is priced for sharing at a gathering or game night rather than a solo meal. Wings are one of the few items on the menu without a bundled combo option: they’re typically ordered alongside a burger, box, or side rather than as a standalone meal.
| KFC Menu Price List | Price |
|---|---|
| 10 Dunked Wings | R89.90 |
| 10 Zinger Wings | R79.90 |
| 4 Dunked Wings | R49.90 |
| 4 Zinger Wings | R44.90 |
Snacks and Sides
Sides are how most Streetwise and box orders get built out into a fuller meal. Regular and Large Chips are the default pairing, while Mash & Gravy and Coleslaw offer a break from fried options. Jalapeno Loaded Fries is the one side genuinely built as a snack in its own right rather than an add-on, and it’s worth trying if you haven’t. Spicier and heavier than the standard chips. Soft Twirl, technically a dessert, is often ordered alongside sides as the cheapest item on the entire menu at under R10.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Jalapeno Loaded Fries | R29.90 |
| Chips Large | R27.90 |
| Large Mash & Gravy | R24.90 |
| Regular Chips | R24.90 |
| Regular Coleslaw | R21.90 |
| Regular Mash & Gravy | R17.90 |
| Chips Small | R16.90 |
| Mini Loaf | R13.90 |
| Soft Twirl With Choc | R11.90 |
| Soft Twirl | R9.90 |
Note: Mash & Gravy is not vegetarian: the gravy is made using meat stock.
Treats
The Treats range covers KFC’s Krushers, milkshakes, and sundaes, and a smaller dessert lineup than a dedicated dessert chain, but enough for a sweet finish to a meal. Verry Berry and the newer Kit Kat Chocolate Krusher are the current flavours, while Chocolate and Mixed Berry Sundaes are the lighter, cheaper option if you don’t want a full milkshake. These items are priced individually and aren’t bundled into combos, so they’re an add-on rather than part of a value meal calculation.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Verry Berry Krusher | R39.90 |
| Strawberry Milkshake | R27.90 |
| Chocolate Milkshake | R27.90 |
| Chocolate Sundae | R25.90 |
| Mixed Berry Sundae | R25.90 |
| Oreo Sundae | R21.90 |
Want the full breakdown, including what each item actually is, the difference between a Krusher and a milkshake, and which sundae gives you the best value? See our complete KFC desserts menu prices guide.
Drinks
Drink options split into hot and cold. The hot drinks menu is limited to coffee (Latte, Cappuccino, White, and Black) and is mostly ordered alongside breakfast items rather than main meals. Cold drinks cover the standard Coca-Cola range (Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Fanta) in small, regular, and large sizes, plus Bonaqua water and Cappy juice for a non-fizzy option. Buddy-sized drinks, KFC’s smaller bottled option, are usually bundled into combo meals rather than bought separately. Krusher sizes, coffee and the new iced drinks are on our KFC drinks page.
| Menu Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Latte Coffee | R30.90 |
| Cappuccino | R29.90 |
| White Coffee | R26.90 |
| Black Coffee | R24.90 |
| 1.5 Litre Coke – Sugar | R27.90 |
| Coke SF Large | R24.90 |
| Fanta Orange SF Large | R24.90 |
| Sprite SF Large | R24.90 |
| Coke Sugar Buddy | R22.90 |
| Cappy Juice | R19.90 |
| Bonaqua Still Spring Water 500ml | R17.90 |
| Coke Zero SF Small | R15.90 |
Most Popular & Best Value Items
Comparing the three bucket sizes by cost per piece shows the 21 Piece Bucket is the best value at roughly R14.28 per piece (R299.90 ÷ 21), followed by the 15 Piece at about R15.99 per piece (R239.90 ÷ 15), with the 9 Piece working out most expensive per piece at around R16.66 (R149.90 ÷ 9).
In other words, buying the largest bucket saves close to R2.40 per piece compared with the smallest and is worth it if you have the group size to use it, but not worth ordering just for the discount if you’ll end up throwing pieces away. For a single diner, the Streetwise Two (R39.90) remains the lowest-cost combo that includes a side, and the Snack Burger (R24.90) is the cheapest item on the entire menu.

Vegetarian & Halal Options
Vegetarian-friendly items on the KFC South Africa menu include the Hash Veggie Burger (R36.90), Regular or Large Chips, Regular Coleslaw, Mini Loaf, and Soft Twirl desserts. Mash & Gravy is not vegetarian, since the gravy is made using meat stock. Note that fries and other fried sides are cooked in shared fryers with chicken products, so they aren’t suitable for strict vegans or anyone avoiding cross-contact.
Want the full breakdown, including which sides are safe, which aren’t, and the meat-free items other sites wrongly list for South Africa? See our complete KFC vegetarian menu guide.
On halal status: many KFC South Africa outlets serve halal-certified chicken, but certification can vary by franchise and region, so confirm directly with your specific branch rather than assuming nationwide certification. If halal dining is a priority, calling ahead or checking the KFC app’s store-specific info before ordering is the safest approach.

How much is a KFC 9 Piece Bucket in South Africa?
The KFC 9 Piece Bucket costs R149.90, though prices can vary slightly by branch.
How much is the KFC 21 Piece Bucket?
The 21 Piece Bucket, KFC’s largest sharing option, is priced at R299.90, working out to roughly R14.28 per piece, the best per-piece value of the three bucket sizes.
Are KFC prices the same in every South African city?
Prices can vary slightly by region and branch, particularly between mall locations and standalone stores, so treat the figures on this page as a strong national reference rather than an exact quote for every outlet.
Does KFC offer delivery in South Africa?
Yes. KFC South Africa offers delivery through its own app and website, as well as third-party partners including Mr D Food and Uber Eats. Delivery hours run slightly shorter than in-store trading hours (see the Delivery Hours table above) and delivery pricing may include a small service fee on top of standard menu prices.
What vegetarian options does KFC South Africa have?
The main vegetarian option is the Hash Veggie Burger (R36.90). Chips, Regular Coleslaw, Mini Loaf, and Soft Twirl are also suitable for vegetarians, though shared fryers mean none of these are strictly vegan. Mash & Gravy is not vegetarian, since the gravy is made using meat stock.
Is KFC South Africa halal certified?
Certification varies by franchise and branch rather than applying nationwide, so it’s best to confirm halal status directly with your local KFC outlet before ordering if this matters to you.
Which KFC bucket size offers the best value per piece?
The 21 Piece Bucket offers the lowest cost per piece at roughly R14.28, compared to about R15.99 for the 15 Piece and R16.66 for the 9 Piece, though it only makes sense for groups large enough to finish it. Our KFC price per piece guide works it out for every count from 1 to 21 pieces.
Does KFC sell a 5-piece bucket in South Africa?
No. KFC South Africa’s smallest bucket is the 9 Piece Bucket at R149.90. If you want a smaller portion, the Streetwise Bucket For 1 (R42.90) or Streetwise Two (R39.90) are the closest lower-piece-count options. For the cheapest way to get 5 pieces, see our 5 piece KFC price breakdown.
Does KFC sell a 12-piece bucket in South Africa?
No. KFC South Africa’s bucket sizes are 9, 15, and 21 pieces, there’s no 12-piece option on the menu. The 9 Piece Bucket (R149.90) and 15 Piece Bucket (R239.90) are the closest sizes either side of it. Our 12 piece KFC price guide shows the cheapest mix of items that gets you to 12.
Does KFC sell a 3-piece, 6-piece or 10-piece bucket?
No. KFC South Africa’s bucket sizes are 9, 15, and 21 pieces only: there’s no 3, 6, or 10-piece bucket on the menu. For a smaller portion, the closest options are the Streetwise Bucket For 1 (R42.90, effectively a 1-piece option with a drink) or the Streetwise Three (R60.90). If you need more than one piece but less than a full 9 Piece Bucket, ordering a few Streetwise combos usually works out cheaper than any bucket size would. We have priced every option in our KFC price per piece guide, including 3, 6 and 10 pieces.
Is there a KFC Family Feast?
Not under that exact name. KFC South Africa’s closest equivalents are the Family Treat (R239.90 for 8 pieces or R269.90 for 10 pieces, with chips, coleslaw and mash) and the Family Fiesta (R159.90). If you’ve seen “Family Feast” mentioned elsewhere, it’s likely a reference to KFC’s menu in another country or an older promotional name: on the current South African menu, Family Treat and Family Fiesta are the sharing meals to look for.
Does this page show today’s KFC specials?
This page lists KFC’s standard national menu prices, checked and updated monthly. Daily and weekly promotions run separately through the KFC app and in-store, and aren’t reflected here. Current deals are on our KFC specials page.
