The Heart-Stopping History of KFC's Double Down
Weird History Food is going to clog your heart with the history of Kentucky Fried Chicken's Double Down sandwich. KFC's viral Double Down offering flipped the sandwich and instead of offering bread, used two breaded chicken patties. This over-the-top menu item created reactions from both fans of KFC as well as critics. Check your cholesterol levels for this one, because we're going to get decadent with the Double Down.

Honestly it’s crazy to me that the double down is looked upon as pure heart attack you can eat, if you were to put the double down in between two slices of bread, it wouldn’t get as much negative attention it’d just be a double chicken sandwich

That's true. For people who are used to consuming a lot of calories and fast food it's nothing but style change. Unhealthy people will continue being unhealthy and healthy people will continue being healthy regardless of the existence of Double Down. It is just that if any food is a perfect poster boy for heart attack that would be the Double Down, it just scream MORE MORE MORE FRIED FOOD

100% that is a concept I have been trying to bring up a bunch of times. People are pretty biased judging food, have someone eat a bit of bread and pasta it’s suddenly a gargantuan amount of carbs. But have someone just eat the same amount of carbs but only pasta no one would think twice. The double down is obviously unhealthy but it’s like 500-600 calories that is low for fast food, plenty of sandwiches are over 1000

As someone who enjoys eating double down i eat it once in a while it's not like I am a fast food addict i genuinely love the buns being replaced with fried chicken and its always delicious.

A double chicken sandwich is a lot. Especially if it’s breaded and fried. Yeah that actually sounds horrible.
Double Down was my favorite fast food item ever, hands down. When it was taken off the menu, I knew which KFCs would still make and sell one, and which would say they have to omit one ingredient lest they get in trouble. Then came the dark days when employees did not know what a Double Down even was.

The Double Down is effectively a crispy version of a Chicken Cordon Bleu, which is ham and swiss wrapped in chicken and baked. They streamlined the creation process and made it modular so that if it did well, they could run variations on it (which they did). But essentially that's what it is, a crispy cordon bleu.

Its very low quality fried chicken. My local grocery store makes fresh fried chicken and its in a totally other league than kfc. The grocery store chicken is actually crispy and has lots of soft white meat inside.

Honestly on paper it sounds healthier than the regular, 100 grams of chicken breast usually has 100 to 130 calories per 100 grams, while bread usually has about 250 to 300 calories per 100 grams, not to mention that protein is more filling and nutritious than carbohydrates.

I worked at a Canadian KFC when this launched. It was created to end a terrible launch of Chicken Fillet item. The double down was just a way to get the fillets sold till the end of the contract as we needed to have them in store. The Colonel sauce is also just a chicken flavoured mayo. We would run out of cheese, or sauce constantly and were not allowed to sell any with either out of stock.

When McDonalds launched their Chicken Big Mac, which was just substituting some thin almost greyish fried chicken in place of the beef patties, KFC took some glamour shots of a modified version starring some of their own fried chicken in place of the McD chicken, parked a big truck with a light up sign of that photo in front of a McDonalds with the text "There We Fixed It"

We can still laugh about that to this day. The Double Down is like a once in many months treat if you must try it but I can never imagine eating it on the regular. 'Tis quite tasty to be sure.
Fried chicken, cheese, bacon, deep-fried pickles, spicy ranch, and a brioche bun. Tis what the heart wants. Also, a fried chicken sandwich on a stuffing roll style bun with a mixture of the mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC would dominate during the holidays.

I ate a Double Down as my last meal on the way RTC Great Lakes for Navy Bootcamp. I made the unforunate mistake of letting my RDCs know that fact and they proceded to roast me the entire time I was there and tried to work that damn sandwich out of my soul. Totally worth it.
Admittedly, I actually miss the Double Down from KFC, and if they reintroduce it in the UK, I think that I’ll be extremely happy. Yes, one of the few items that I want to keep trying, as much as possible before I become less immune to it.
The Double Down is one of my favorite fast food menu items out there, and if it weren't so high in calories, I would have eaten it at least once every week
I don't know what the macros on the Double Down are, but aside from the breading and the sauce, this offering is nearly 100% protein which would really be not as unhealthy as a traditional KFC sandwich would be.

The double-down must be a godsend to those who can’t eat bread, especially if you did it with grilled chicken. Imagine being gluten intolerant and being able to eat something like that. And if they cook the chicken in breadcrumb alternatives, it would be a dream come true
"It might be time to bring back the double down"? Not "It might be time to DOUBLE DOWN!"? I can't remain subbed to this channel. -Respect.
Didn’t they remove it due to it being extremely unhealthy?
As posted from others here, and seen in various news sources... " KFC is bringing back an old fan-favorite for a limited run. On Mon., March 6, KFC will reintroduce their famous bun-less sandwich, the double down, after nearly a decade-long hiatus. The meaty sandwich will be available for four weeks. " Hopefully it is nation wide and I don't have to search for one.
This video was a prophecy. The double down just came back yesterday. Because of this video I decided to try it for the first time and it was so fucking good. Sure I felt slightly ill afterwards but I kind of expected that. Worth it.
There really is no other fast food dish that's as tasty as it is filling and funny, a true unicorn these days
Considering the timing of the video, I'm surprised you left out that KFC IS bringing back the Double Down for a 4-week run starting today. How did you miss that?
I actually lost a lot of weight and had good numbers when I went Keto thanks to the double down and the naked chicken taco from Taco Bell, it covered your calories if you were IF and only 15g of carbs.

When it was premiered, I was darn curious and had to try one. It sounded excessive on purpose. It tasted *very* salty from the two breaded chicken pieces, but it was tasty regardless. But I felt instinctively that eating them regularly would be a bad idea. So I haven’t bought a second one. But I am happy I ate that first one!
Oh man, a 30 rock reference. This channel is great
First ? This does feel good. This is an actual accomplishment in my life. I need to get out more.

The had the pleasure to eat one some years ago here in Germany, but I recall there was also a rösti/hash brown in between. Needless to say the Double Down spoiled ordinary burgers for me.
It's crazy that you bring this up because I work at a KFC/Taco Bell dual store and our current promotion (just started 4 days ago) we started the double down in central Illinois
It's crazy that I only tried this once in my life.
Its literally just a double chicken burger with no bun and people thought it was the devil lmfao Its almost due to be back on the NZ menu, we get it 1-2 times a year usually with new flavours. a recent one had cheese, bacon, a hash brown and crispy onion bits
