The KFC Double Down, a sandwich that the fast-food chain felt compelled to assure consumers was actually real and not an April Fools' Day prank, will land with a greasy thud in KFC locations across the U.S. on April 12, an advertisement on KFC’s website said Saturday.
The Double Down features bacon and Monterey Jack cheese surrounded not by a bun but by two fried chicken fillets.
KFC describes the sandwich as “so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!” Consumer affairs website Consumerist called it “mysteriously tempting (and potentially lethal).”
The Double Down was initially tested in Omaha, Neb. and Providence, R.I. last July before KFC decided to take it nationwide, CTNow.com reported.
According to KFC.com, which has a countdown to the launch of the Double Down, the sandwich is available with Original Recipe chicken or original chicken. The grilled option provides fewer calories and less fat than the Original (which has 540 calories and 32 grams of fat), but also a whopping 1430 grams of sodium -- more than half of the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s recommended daily allowance.
