The KFC Double Down may be one of fast food's most infamous sandwiches. But it's also... kind of good?
KFC’s Double Down looks to settle one of the most persistent food debates with the curl of a monkey’s paw.The answer: Maybe, but does it really matter?
or because you’ve missed it ever since trying one during its original run over a decade ago, you’re in for a treat. Surprising no one, the Double Down is exactly what it tastes like: fried chicken, cheese and bacon. I ordered the spicy version, so there was also spicy mayo on mine. Given that KFC has staked its reputation on its trademark 11 herbs and spices, it’s no surprise that the chicken was the star of the show here. Crispy and flavorful, the chicken is solid for a fast food restaurant. The bacon, cheese and sauce enhanced each others’ flavors the way they would on a standard sandwich.
I was surprised to find myself not really missing a bun. Some rare exceptions aside, like the bun Popeye’s uses for its chicken sandwich, bread from fast food joints tends not to be very good. It’s often sweet, gummy and unsatisfying. Don’t get me wrong: I certainly do crave an oddly sweet McDonald’s bun every once in a while, but for the most part, they wind up feeling like filler. I’m not advocating for some pro-keto end to fast food buns.
