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  |

This picture looks good: This one makes it look like cheese overkill. I'll still try it though.  |

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.

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. |
