KFC Double Down

landhoney · 04-12-2010, 03:10 PM

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"

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.

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.

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

Oh. I thought was a Egg Sandwich between Chicken.

What was I thinking

Gotta love the South!

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

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

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.

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

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

tupacboy · 04-13-2010, 01:55 PM

fries in a burrito is good too

jkim05 · 04-13-2010, 02:22 PM

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

SeanGAR · 04-13-2010, 04:08 PM

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

neoflex · 04-13-2010, 04:13 PM

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.

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

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.

Chicken on chicken...

Kreth · 04-13-2010, 05:41 PM

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