Almost certainly this. Not just chicken but breading ingredients, the oil they fry them in, probably salt content. Maybe sauces too?

#6What is the concern?
Looking at the law (in Oregon) “Total calories must be posted in a conspicuous place in a font size no smaller than the price, or the least prominent font size of the description of the item. A statement listing the daily nutrient intake amounts of calories, saturated fat, and sodium.”
Seems like any legal requirements imply signage in the physical venue ?

It gives an answer without setting location. So why not when blocking it?

If they wanted to level up the UX they could explain why they need/use location.
