The Double Down

I convinced Devon to go to KFC and try the new Double Down sandwich with "so much chicken [KFC] didn't have room for a bun."

I knew it was gonna be a good trip when I saw this... This guy was just in too much of a hurry to remember how to park.


Ordering the Double Down. The cashier talked it up like crazy.


They finished making our "sandwiches" and packed them in a box. A box with the Colonel on it, laughing at you for giving him more of your money, while he gives you a heart attack in return.


The first glimpse. First time I've gotten fast food that actually somewhat looked like the commercial. Looks like original recipe.


Took a bite. First impression: meh.


Finished it. Some of the cheese and "spicy mayonnaise" was stuck on the wrapper. That part was actually really good.


The verdict: salty. 1380 mg of sodium and you can taste each one. Devon got a thigh after and we agreed, if they put less salt on the double down and kept the seasoning EXACTLY how they do it on the rest of their chicken, it would have been a lot better. The Double Down is good, but has some room for improvement. I'd eat it again, but not often.

  1. That's messed up that they season it differently than their original recipe chicken. Kind of misses the point. Glad you were the one to try it and not me though. I can't imagine the indigestion you two must have suffered. :)
