KFC Goes Grilled
As posting calorie counts becomes mandatory in more and more places, many fast food restaurants are trying to lure health-conscious customers back in an effort to boost slumping sales.

The grilled chicken will cost the same as KFC's Original Recipe, but the caloric price is considerably lower.
