Today was the day of the new KFC Double Down sandwich. Two Fried Chicken breasts with bacon, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, and Colonel's Sauce (version of a honey mustard) in between the chicken. There is no bread in this sandwich except for the breading around the fried chicken. Surprising with two pieces of fried chicken, cheese, and bacon the sandwich is only 540 calories. A grilled chicken version is available with only 460 calories.

When I ordered the sandwich I watched the staff make it behind the counter maker the sandwich and I must say I began to have doubts in it. First the person making the sandwich only made one sandwich at a time, (previous restaurant bosses would probably of cussed me out for making one sandwich at a time when two were ordered), one thin line of Colonel's sauce on the bottom breast, layer of cheese, bacon then cheese, topped with another breast. Shouldn't the sauce be spread more, shouldn't you at least partially melt the cheese in a cheesemelter/broiler. I left with the sandwiches and got to a friend's house five minutes later so we could try the new KFC sandwich.

In the time it took to get to my friends the cheese was melted, and sandwich still warm. Time for the first bite. DELICIOUS (not in the way when I was done I wished I had just one more bite, but in comparison to other atty fast food options) and worth the $5 for the sandwich. The flavor of the chicken is by far the strongest with the bacon, cheese, and sauce only subtly tasted. It's very similar to a chicken cordon blu in flavor, but in a sandwich version without bread. While I don't see this as an everyday sandwich to eat, it will probably be a sandwich that you will occasionally get cravings for every once in a while. One sandwich was enough to feel full, and did not need ordering the full combo meal to feel even more guilty. If you don't feel full after the last bite, what a few minutes, it usually takes about 15 minutes for your body to naturally feel full after eating.
