Wow, I couldn’t believe that American fast food has sunk this low. I’m pretty sure The Onion spoofed some concept like this before, but I guess it was good enough for KFC. I would’ve loved to been at the meeting where this idea was pitched. The sad thing is I’m probably going to try it just because of how ridiculous it is.

That is what I thought when I first saw the commercial. I actually thought I imagined it until I saw it the next day. When I told Jess she asked me if it was a joke, like they were advertising a fake sandwich to promote their “healthy” meals (amazingly, according to their website, their grilled chicken still contains partially-hydrogenated oils).

That’s pretty funny. I do have to say it does look kind of tasty though.

Wonder how the partially-hydrogenated oil is incorporated into the chicken?

I have no idea, Derek… here is the actual ingredients for it (from here):

KFC® Grilled Chicken

Fresh Chicken Marinated with: Salt, Sodium Phosphate, and Monosodium Glutamate.

Seasoned with: Maltodextrin, Salt, Bleached Wheat Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil, Monosodium Glutamate, Secret Kentucky Grilled Chicken Spices, Palm Oil, Natural Flavor, Garlic Powder, Soy Sauce (Soybean, Wheat, Salt), Chicken Fat, Chicken Broth, Autolyzed Yeast, Beef Powder, Rendered Beef Fat, Extractives of Turmeric, Dehydrated Carrot, Onion Powder, and Not More Than 2% Each of Calcium Silicate and Silicon Dioxide Added as Anticaking Agents.

Contains Wheat and Soy.

Jason, I noticed that you were in Council Tuckey for Ribfest. I can’t figure out where you’re from exactly, but please tell me I can find this sandwich in the Omaha metro.

No problem Chris! The KFC I went to was this one:

http://tinyurl.com/kfclavista

The photos were taken there, so unless they got rid of it, they had signage. Hope that helps!!

Works for me! Like you, I thought I dreamed about seeing the ad for this delicious monstrosity, but I can’t wait to try it.

This sandwich looks soooo bad I actually took the time to look all over the web for the nutritional value and oddly enough can not find it anywhere. You are right, there is no mention of this sandwich on their website and I think it is because it is probably a days worth of calories just by itself never mind the fat and sodium. check out kentuckyfried cruelty.com

I hadn’t seen the advertisement for it on TV, but when I pulled up to KFC today, the person taking the order asked if I would like to try one. Being the sucker I am, I tried it…and WOW…is it good. Chicken, bacon, pepperjack cheese, and the “special sauce” made for a damn fine sandwich. And yes, there is no bun, but it is wrapped in a papper sleever which helps in eating the thing.

I do have one question for Jason, since we live somewhat close (about 45 miles), did the KFC in La Vista give you a survey card on the Double Down that when you completed it, KFC sends you a $10.00 coupon? Mine did, and the website is http://www.mropinionsonline.com/doubledown. You do need a special number on the card to complete the survey though.

I wonder if I could get them to make it with grilled breasts instead of original recipe? It’d be an awesome low-carb meal that way…

at the end of the day, we all have a choice wether to purchase it or not. If you feel that it has too many carbs DONT EAT IT. simple.

How is this different to a double burger from buger king or mcdondalds big mac – its actually better in the respect yes it has 2 chicken patties/ breast but no bread

Will it come in hot & spicy?WOW Can’t wait!!

and its kind of really out of context. just thought i’d let you know

And people wonder why the world is full of super fatties…

[...] Read more about it here. [...]

This has to be the worst thing that KFC has thought up – it’s unhealthy enough. Not one thing on the menu in Australia doesn’t contain fat – even the grilled chicken gets coated with oil before it gets cooked (That answers your question Jason and Derek). And trust me, I work there. Have for a year.

It’s disgusting after a long while – especially when you see just how much grease the cook has to get rid of every night.

Thank you, Ash… that has had me wondering for a little while now. It’s hard to hear something advertised as “healthy” and then find out it is covered with trans-fats. I mean, how hard would it be to *not* put oil on it? Or perhaps not label it “healthy”?

I think the doubledown was great and I would buy it again

Who the F cares what’s in it?? Get some freaking exercise and you won’t have to analyze the chemical makeup of the shit you eat. Just put whatever tastes delicious in your face. I’m not normally a fan of fast food (most of it actually doesn’t taste unhealthy enough for me… you can’t tell me a big mac is worse for you than a super greasy burger that’s 4 times the size from a real burger joint), but this thing looks good enough for me to make a special trip to the local KFC. I love how people blame the population’s obesity on food like this. Uh, yeah, all the pinner burgers, sandwiches, and burritos from crappy fast food chains is the problem… or maybe it’s the way that people sit on their asses all day.

Typical they have the black guy saying ‘two pieces of chicken’ with that wide grin. I call that racial stereotyping.

Better off eating an extra chicken patty than a bun.

I was given a double down coupon which says that KFC would send me a $10 coupon if I took your survey. I finally got on to the site, but it does not have any place to do a survey. The number I was given is 1279664127? Also I am not impressed with your KFC on west 2nd street in Grand Island, Nebraska. It does not matter what time of the evening when I go there,I ask for the extra crispy chicken, they are always out. I live on the south side of town. I have to go to the north KFC, if I want crispy chicken. I have talked to management there, but it seems like it goes in one ear and out the other.

I’d love to get a calorie and carb count on this. The KFC website says a OR Chicken Breast has 7g of carbs. Three OR strips have 11g. So, let’s worse case scenario it and figure 22g just for the meat portions. The sauce is at most 6g unless it’s sugary. I’ll assume the cheese and bacon is 0 carbs. So, under 30g of carbs and no transfat. Not great for low-carb dieters, but I’ve seen worse.

BTW, fat and cholesterol don’t make you obese. Starches and sugars do. It’s nice that they eliminated the bread, but the breading on the chicken kills it.

This looks pretty good, but a little messy to eat. I plan on getting one next time I go to Col. Sanders’. There’s nothing wrong with eating things which are considered “bad” for you sometimes. It’s what you eat every day that matters. If you listen to the self-appointed health experts, you can’t have anything you like. Eat what you want and tell the health nuts to mind their own business.

@ Tim AumAn:

Excellent point. COMPLETELY AGREE.

Oh My goodness this is plain and downright awful does K F C really know what they are doing to people’s health. They need to reconsider this is just madness.

Fuck all you ‘healthy eating’ people who make denigrating comments on these. You people are most probably couch resting keybpard humping slothing fuctatoes if you think it’s going to clog your arteries NO MATTER WHAT.

If you eat and sit around all day without ever exercising then YES, it’s going to be bad for your health generally. But if you stay active throughout the day and have the endurance over months of continuous workout this isn’t going to hurt your health in the slightest.

Protein laden food build muscles if you use it an hour before or oafter you consume them, and those muscles are going to burn ANY fat like nothing. Muscles burn fat. That is FACT.

If you don’t have enough any muscles and a stick insect, don’t workout or too lazy to get of your couch or keep fit and don’t eat a BALANCED diet to compensate then don’t eat these kind of greasy food.

My review here:
http://www.hungrykoala.com/

Looking at it, I’m terrified, but morbid curiosity will probably have me trying one once (and if) it comes to our area.

Of course, that’s the same slippery slope that got me hooked on the KFC Famous Bowls.

Heaven help me.

It is actually called the KFC Double Down Burger and it looks incredible. I am such a chicken fan and deep-fried fillets (the healthiest cut) are my favorite. I am contemplating (considering, to all you dummies out there) driving 5 hours to get one. But, I will probably just wait until they are sold in my city (or nearby). To those out there who feel it is a bad idea to bring out such a product when America is so fat, let people eat what they want. I’ll drink a glass of milk with mine, if it will shut you up.
And why is everyone complaining that the chicken is the bun? KFC is concerned about our collective health and decided to do away with the bread. Thanks, KFC.
And what about the guy/gal who eats a 3-piece meal? Or has a bucket for dinner with the family and eats 4 pieces, fries, gravy, coleslaw, pop and a piece of cake?

oh god

Think for a minute… what is it about _lack of bread_ that makes it unhealthy? This sandwich isn’t nearly so large that anyone would bat an eye at it if it had some lettuce and two slices of bread on top of everything else. But it’s not socially acceptable to have a sandwich without bread (despite white bread being about the least healthy thing at most fast food restaurants), so everyone is shocked, despite the existence of double cheeseburgers, not to mention chicken sandwiches with single patties larger than this whole sandwich.

So if it makes you feel better, bring some slices of bread. But don’t insult your own intelligence by pretending that _adding_ bread is going to make it _healthier_ for you. Enjoy your bleached flour.

When you really think about it though it’s not any more fattening than a bucket of chicken.

The sandwich is made out of two chicken breasts, and then some middle filling which probably amounts to roughly the same amount of fat as a third chicken breast would. So really you’re only getting roughly three chicken breasts worth of fat. So if you order one of KFC’s many menu items that have more than one chicken breast in it it’s already more fattening than the double down.

[...] FoodGeekery and the Consumerist both have articles on this so I won’t belabor the point but in short, KFC is trying out a “sandwich” composed of bacon, cheese, and special sauce couched between two pieces of fried chicken instead of a bun.

for the person who said that the cayan grill chicken is coated in oil before cooked.. YOU’RE WRONG
i’ve worked at kfc (in aus) for 3 yrs now… the cayan chicken isn’t coated in oil, the black plate it’s cooked on is brushed with oil so the cayan fillets don’t cook, and if you did some research you’d find out that there’s only 2g of fat in a cayan fillet.
also at my kfc and alot of others we have changed the solid oil (which had trans fats and palm oil in it) to liquid vegetable oil with not trans fat or palm oil.
so next time do your research before stating things, if you’ve worked for a year and you are “coating” your cayan fillets in oil then you’re a douche and you should be fired!
