Now That's What I'm Talkin' 'Bout!

KFC's new Double Down Chicken samich.

The chicken chain rolls out its Double Down sandwich this weekend — although some might question whether it really is a sandwich. It consists of two white meat chicken breast fillets with a filling of bacon, Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese with Colonel’s Sauce (a spicy mayonnaise).

I'm not sure why, but for some reason that seems reasonably appetizing

omg   I've gotta try that!

[stroh]

Indeed!  That *feces* looks good.  *fudge* bread.  I'll take 2.

This picture looks good:


This one makes it look like cheese overkill.  I'll still try it though.

[stroh]

I tell you what, I'd take either one.  Maybe it's just 'cause I'm hungry right now.

The bottom one I'd eat with a fork.  And if I'm eating it with a fork, they might as well cover it with Country Gravy.

That's interesting that there's an Original Recipe version and Grilled version, but no Extra Crispy version.

Do you guys have "hot n' spicey" over there?

That would surely kick ass over Original Recipe!!

Nope.  Sounds good.  I like Popeye's spicy fried chicken.

I think they do.  To be honest I don't get much stuff from KFC.  Normally just teh buffet when I go which translates into way more Extra Crispy chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits that I should eat. 

Popeye's I think has hot and spicy stuff but I haven't been to one of those in years.

So I tried one of these Double Down "sandwiches" today.  I tried the Original Recipe kind.

It was smaller than I expected.  Small enough that after leaving the KFC and still feeling hungry, I stopped at the Popeye's down the road for their Tuesday Leg & Thigh Special.

Random thoughts:

- It's likely that this particular place screwed up the prep, but it wasn't as crispy looking as the pics.  The outer coating was kind of soft and soggy.

- The chicken itself was pretty good. Indifferent toward the cheese and bacon.  Didn't really add or detract from the experience. I would have liked to try something else in between the chicken pieces instead of bacon/cheese, such as:
   i) hummus
   ii) a fish fillet patty
   iii) cole slaw
   iv) maybe even a sliced bun, like the center bun of Big Mac.



So I'm glad I tried it, but I don't see myself getting another one.

LMAO!

Glad I'm not the only one.  I haven't had one of these deals yet.  Can't find a KFC here, but I have had one thing at some joint, still been hungry and stopped at another.
