KFC Double Down
 

If this subforum were titled "Great Eats" I would not be able to start this thread, but as it is merely "Good Eats" I will post about this "sandwich":r

A co-worker was excited about it and got a bunch of us to go today. It was good, and a novelty, but none of us will be going back anytime soon. But I think we were all glad to have tried it and have a good laugh at the absurdity of a "sandwich" that uses two fried chicken breasts as bread. :r

The sandwich is from top to bottom, fried chicken breast, "colonel sauce", cheese, bacon, and another fried chicken breast. No bread, nothing else but a thin wax paper wrapper that does not insulate you well enough from the hot chicken, meaning that initially you can't hold onto it for very long.

Anyway, in closing, not bad and fun as a novelty. And to answer the inevitable question.......540 calories and 32 grams of fat. :tu

Since I live a low carb lifestyle, I'm excited to try the grilled version.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Oh. I thought was a Egg Sandwich between Chicken.

What was I thinking :rolleyes:

Re: KFC Double Down
 

fried chicken sandwich?.... man... only if i can get that with a slab of butter on one side and lard on the other :)

Re: KFC Double Down
 

i'm very excited about trying this.

Gotta love the South!

:r

Re: KFC Double Down
 

the plain chicken breast in itself was enough for me.. I had that in a jam and it was pretty damn good

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Was it grape jam? I like mine with strawberry preserves. :r :r

Let's see how long it takes before someone buys a KFC Double Deuce, stuffs some french fries in the center, batters it with donut batter, deep fries it, adds chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream and posts it on ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com

ADDENDUM: I just went to ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com to make sure I had the link correct and lo-and-behold, the stock KFC Double Deuce is right there on the first page. :r:r:r:r

Nothing wrong with putting fries in a sandwich (as anyone who's been to Primanti Bros. will tell you)

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Oh, I know. I was actually mocking the trends of what gets posted at TIWYF.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

fries in a burrito is good too :)

Re: KFC Double Down
 

I had to try one today because of this thread. It was ok, but I don't think I'd eat one again.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Doubled down with diarrhea ... sounds good to me ... but I went to 5 guys instead today (love the burgers with fresh jalapenos) -- maybe tomorrow.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Saw the commercial for this monstrosity last night. Just did not look appetizing to me. Sean, I think you made a good decision. I would take 5 Guys over KFC any day. I am in the put fries on your sammich camp, not to mention potato chips when eating those with a sandwich.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Chicken on chicken...:tu

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Worth a try. There's a KFC 2 blocks away. What's the "colonel sauce"? Spicy at all?

Re: KFC Double Down
 

5 Guys does have the upper hand in this one. I'll take the big burger over the chicken on chicken sandwich.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Well, my buddy got one. No, "my buddy" is not code for me. Personally, not a fan of KFC, I do love me some Popeye's though.

Doesn't KFC understand that the bread is the item designed to protect your delicate upper palate from hot AND
extremely hard, crunchy crust? Derh. What's next a gravel parfait?

Re: KFC Double Down
 

I love 5 Guys with fresh jalapenos! I always get it with extra jalapenos!

KFC, don't care to much for it, my least favorite chicken place.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

just survived one...going to the gym later tonight.

Tasty though :)

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Does this sammich come with a side of Lipitor, or is that an extra?

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Chicken on chicken?!

Almost as good as girl on girl!

:D

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Now I am wondering how you eat just fried chicken. :confused: :tu

Re: KFC Double Down
 

I ate two last night and they were AWESOME!

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Pass. :pu

Re: KFC Double Down
 

Cheese on any kind of chicken sandwich just doesn't sound good to me. I'll definitly pass on this one. :td

Re: KFC Double Down
 

They should've done it big mac style and called it the triple down. One more piece of chicken in the middle would seal the deal.

Depends on the type of cheese. I like bleu, feta, and cheddar with chicken just fine.

:tpd: plus mozzarella and monterey jack

Can't believe I forgot parmesan, too. Chicken parm or Parm-crusted chicken breasts... :dr

Ever have the Monterey Chicken at Chili's? That's LEGIT!

Believe it or not, I've never eaten at Chili's. I don't have anything against them, we don't have one local, and I've always ended up eating somewhere else for one reason or another when there was one nearby.. I think I've covered pretty much all of the other clones: Applebee's/TGIF/Ruby Tuesday's/Red Robin/Outback...

Re: KFC Double Down
 

How about this for an accurate description of the Double Down?

Re: KFC Double Down
 

I'm going low carb again for a while, so I'm gonna have to check out the grilled double down today.

Re: KFC Double Down
 

I ate the "grilled" one monday and didn't care for it too much. I think they put too much seasoning on the chicken and it wasn't very "grilled" to me.
I may try the fried one, but for $7.48 for the meal, I can find better.

Especially with some bacon, cheese and special sauce in between!!!
