Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken nutrition (lowest calories first)

Calories and macros for the 85 Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken rows this page lists: the 56 single orders plus 18 rows for one slice, piece or part of an order, 5 desserts, 4 sauces, toppings and add-ons and 2 catering items. The other 132 rows we track (73 drinks, 12 sauces, toppings and add-ons the display filter leaves out, 21 kids' items the display filter leaves out, 25 catering items the display filter leaves out, and 1 other row the display filter leaves out) are left out of this table and kept in the JSON. Not included yet: both Biscuits rows, both Spicy Jumbo Dippers rows and all four Hot Apples rows, because Lee's own 2026 store menus print 230 and 1,360 calories for the biscuits against this guide's 200 and 1,180, a three-size Spicy Jumbo Dippers cup starting at 520 against its single 420, and 100/390 for Hot Apples against 90/350; all four Mashed Potatoes rows, because the counter sells the side as "Mashed Potatoes & Gravy" at 70-90 and 330-410 calories while the guide prices the potato alone at 50 and 240; the Famous Fish Fillets, because the guide prints "1 order" and the chain's own allergen sheet lists both a one-fillet and a three-to-four-fillet serving; the two Fried Okra scoop rows and both its bulk rows; Sierra Mist, which PepsiCo retired in 2023; and the whole 23-row breakfast block, which no other Lee's document carries. Every chicken piece, breast strip, wing section and single pickle or popper is listed and never built into a meal, because the guide prints no order size anywhere. Also available as JSON.
