Who needs burger buns when you can use Kentucky Fried Chicken instead, right?
We are, of course, talking about The Colonel’s legendary Double Down ‘burger’.
The Double Down is a classic KFC burger, except instead of a burger bun, all that delicious filling is stuffed between two pieces of Original Recipe Chicken. The filling being crispy bacon, Monterary Jack cheese and BBQ sauce.
Protein is the new carbs, remember?
You’ll probably have fond memories of the KFC Double Down from back in the day, but it’s not been seen since 2018 when it was removed from the menu; never to be seen again.
When KFC said it would get the Double D back if just one person liked this Twitter post, the Colonel probably had a fairly good idea that he’d be making them again.
So, the great news is it’s back on the menu, but the bad news is you can only get it via Uber Eats, and it’s only around until 15 November.
A single Double Down will set you back £4.99, while a meal, including fries and a drink, will cost you £5.99. Then, there’s the Double Down boxmeal if you’re REALLY hungry. That means a Double Down, fries, a drink plus an extra piece of Original Recipe chicken all for £7.49.
KFC announced the exciting news of the Double Down’s return by saying, “Goes without saying 2020 has been pretty fowl. We've all had a long, hard year... and it's not over yet.
“So over here at KFC HQ, we've been plotting and scheming - trying to find ways to bring a little joy to 2020 (it needs it). And we reckon if there's one thing the nation has been chirping out for, it's the return of a legendary fried chicken classic.
“Enter KFC's Double Down - the iconic bunless burger of your dreams. For those in the back, it features crispy bacon, melted cheese and barbecue sauce, all sandwiched between two succulent Original Recipe chicken fillets.”
Buns are sooooooooooooooooooo 2019 anyway.
