KFC Double Down, would you?
What do you think of this? Two pieces of Bacon, two strips of cheese and two piece of boneless chicken fillet all stacked on either side of the cheese and bacon to make a “sandwich” with out any buns! I guess KFC are trying their best to lower the amount of starch you have but increase the amount of fat you have or just lower the amount of starch intake. I must admit though, this does look mouth watering. I wonder if it will make it’s way down to SA. I would like to get my hands on it or atleast to try it. The burger… Oh, sorry, I mean sandwich was launched in USA on the 12th of April and I can only imagine the yanks must have gone mental for a bite of this. Check out the advert for the KFC double down in America:
There is no room for a bun this product is so dam meaty. They even give you the choice to have it fried (They call it their “Original Recipe”) or have it grilled but I guess either way, you are going to be eating loads of fatty chicken and bacon and cheese for that matter. For any of you calory counters out there, this is what the KFC Double Down consists nutritional value:
Just to give you a little breakdown in nutritional value of competitive burgers/sandwichs (In the USA) take a look here:
- McDonalds Big Mac – 540 calories, 10g saturated fat
- McDonalds Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich – 660 calories, 8g saturated fat
- Burger King Whopper w/Cheese – 760 calories, 16g saturated fat
- Subway Cold Cut Combo – 410 calories, 7g saturated fat
I am super keen to try it and so are many others in South Africa. Its been the talk across a couple of blogs as well as food and restuarant sites. It has even got itself a facebook group called Bring the Double Down to SA, KFC group, if you would like to throw your weight around and add some pressure onto KFC about bringing down this bunless meal of joy to any fat loving, grease eating KFC fan, then (click here)
