Tracked at $10.99 across the current run, with the piece-mix noted per cycle: the build has changed between returns, and this ledger records which version each price bought.
Fact checkWhy other sites disagree about this item
Piece-mix guessing is the fact-check: listings describe the 3-piece as 'three tenders and a waffle' (that's the tenders build, a different product a dollar-fifty cheaper) or as breast-thigh-drum (the heavier mix some markets ran in earlier cycles). The current national build is drum, thigh and wing at $10.99. Three listings, three products, one name: the cycle's returns keep re-shuffling the deck, and undated listings shuffle with it.

Is the 3 pc. Chicken & Waffles still available?
Chicken & Waffles was a limited run and is not on the current national menu. The 3 pc. Chicken Box is the standing three-piece plate. As of August 2026 it does not appear on the national menu board or in the app’s standard listings; individual franchises occasionally run down stock or bring an item back for a market test, so the app is the only live answer for your own store.
The closest current order is the 3 pc. Chicken Box. Everything below, the last listed price, the ledger, the nutrition panel and the value math, is kept on record so that the comparison stays possible and so that a return, which KFC does with retired items more often than most chains, has a baseline to be measured against.

What is in a KFC 3 pc. Chicken & Waffles?
The full-plate expression of the seasonal line: three bone-in pieces to one waffle, which shifts the dish’s balance decisively toward the chicken. Above it only the box adds sides; below it the 2-piece keeps the classic ratio. This is the build for people who consider the waffle a supporting actor with one great scene.
How it is made
Same fresh-press waffle, one more piece from the batch. The ratio is the real difference: three pieces overwhelm one waffle’s syrup capacity, so the second syrup packet isn’t indulgence, it’s engineering. Ask at order.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
Big brunch appetites; dark-meat loyalists who want the wing along; anyone who did the 2-piece and spent the drive home doing arithmetic. The classic-ratio faithful should stay at two pieces: this build is chicken-forward on purpose.
Is it worth the price?
Three dollars over the entry format for a third piece: plate logic, priced plainly.
Per calorie it edges the 2-piece on the strength of chicken density, and 41 g of protein makes it the line’s only build that computes like a full dinner. The waffle stays singular at every tier, which is either the format’s discipline or its flaw depending on your ratio politics.
Order hacks
- Second syrup packet at order: three pieces to one waffle outruns a single pour by design.
- The wing is the build’s gift: syrup-dipped flat is the format’s secret best bite.
- Fresh-press request matters double here: the bigger plate eats longer and the waffle’s window is fixed.
- Sharing play: this plus a solo waffle order (most stores sell one for ~$2.49) rebuilds two classic-ratio plates for less than two 2-pieces.
- Protein math: 41 g makes this the one waffle build that stands in for dinner without a footnote.

| KFC app & website | The reference price on this page, plus app-only offers and Rewards points. The cleanest way to see your own store’s price before ordering. |
| Counter & drive-through | Franchise-set pricing: a spread of about a dollar around the reference is normal. AK, HI and CA run higher on KFC’s own note. |
| Delivery apps | Marked up over counter price and no Rewards earning; the delivery page ranks the routes. |
| Cheaper routes | current deals change without a schedule; the app row is the truth; the standing value board (Taste of KFC, $5 Bowls, Fill Ups) usually beats a promo code. |
