The KFC Double Down is the latest brain child from the people at Kentucky Fried Chicken, looking to take advantage of fans of their products. The KFC Double Down sandwich isn’t your typical chicken sandwich either, as this selection is going to be served without bread (yes, no bread!!), all with the intent to become a niche product that people enjoy as an alternative to the regular burger. The KFC Double Down sandwich is a bold move, taking full advantage of the chicken that has made Kentucky Fried Chicken such a household name, but at the same time it could also be considered one of the unhealthiest options on the market.

The KFC Double Down sandwich is actually being called the KFC Double Down Burger by those who have seen it first hand, and from the pictures; wow it is quite a sight. The KFC Double Down sandwich is going to consist of two slices of bacon, a slice of pepper jack cheese, a slice of Swiss cheese, and some of the Colonel’s secret sauce. Serving as the bun on both ends of the sandwich will be two filets of KFC original recipe chicken. You read that correctly, the bun on this sandwich is actually two pieces of KFC original recipe chicken, making it an interesting, if not intriguing option that could appear on the KFC menu.

Where the KFC Double Down is being sold, the response has been quite positive. One of the testing locations in Omaha, Nebraska reported that the sandwich had even exceeded expectations at the store. That is pretty impressive for the KFC Double Down already, and shows that this type of fast food fare may actually have a place within the industry. A test commercial has already been making its way around the Midwest, and could lead the KFC Double Down to becoming a menu item around the country if it finds some quick success. One news source calculated the nutritional value of the KFC Double Down though, and the results aren’t very healthy. According to the Vancouver Sun, they claim that this one sandwich could provide more than the daily recommended allowances of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and protein in one sitting.
