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

Cooper

1y↑92

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.

Not people who claim to get heart attack and etc should know how to control their limits nothing can be overdone in life such as watering a plant with too much water it could kill the plant.

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.

I will never be able to understand how people lost their mind over what was essentially a double chicken sandwich without the bread. Somehow, two pieces of chicken with sauce and cheese is magically 1000x worse than an entire bucket of chicken, or a regular chicken sandwich. Some people are wild, man.

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.

Regarding the weigh-in, it's hilarious because there's a huge scale on the outside of the restaurant right on Fremont Street, so anyone can stand on it to see if they're heavy enough for free food.
There are various hilarious challenges and such, and sexy nurses will wheel you in and out of the restaurant in wheelchairs. Ive actually never gone inside, but it's hilarious even just to watch from the outside.

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'm on a diet and doing power-lifting and might cook a home-made version of the double down over the weekend.

Cut the fried dough, its basically keto diet

TheLocalLt

Huh? Calories don’t denote health, bread is much healthier for you than fried chicken even if the extra calories are just empty and useless, you are still avoiding the oil-fried crust of the chicken which is the only part that’s truly unhealthy (and imo the only part that makes it actually worth eating lmao, grilled chicken is gross even though it’s healthy)

FunningRast

1y↑6

@TheLocalLt You should really check the nutrition facts on most fried chicken sandwiches. Double down beats out most of them as “healthier” because of the lack of bread on Carbs, Fats, and Calories plus more Protein. Still wouldn’t touch it because of the sodium though.

TheLocalLt

1y↑3

@FunningRast my impression is that the excess sodium and nitrates that you get from frying food are much worse for you (and more artery-clogging) than excess carbohydrates. Isn’t bread basically the universal staple of the human diet?

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.

I'll admit I was almost tempted to try it, but never got around to it. But I have to give props to KFC's marketing guys. 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"

Rodd Matsui

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!

it came back earlier this year, it had bigger chicken fillets, since it now used the fillet from the bigger chicken sandwich. its pricepoint was pretty high, it was a bit over $11 after tax for the combo, it claimed to be healthier somehow than the previous run despite having more chicken in it. i got mine without mayo and felt like it was inferior to the chicken sandwich.

I like using vinaigrette dressings to marinate chicken in a bag, refrigerated overnight but you have to be hella super careful to cook the poultry to correct specifications (make sure the juices run clear), most usually you'll be left with leftovers, when this happens I like to shish-kabobs (bell peppers, onions, shrimp, etc.) and baste it, low and slow

A very stigmatized food item, that really, nobody was going to eat in high quantities. It was a treat! I loved it, but I only really had it 4 times, over time. But I have made similar at home that I enjoyed more, without the grease, and a lot less fat, and salt.

Double Down was tasty, but halfway it started tasting really salty. I recommend water or a soft drink on the side. It's definitely one of those "I liked it but i wont order again for another year" type of novelty sandwiches but i guess that is why it comes and goes in limited time, by the time it comes back its probably been a year or two and you'll want it again.

Too bad a Double-Down doesn't contain any actual friggin bread though, Josh!!!) Weisman formulated his own Double-Down sandwich to provide enough calories to dominate an entire Junior High School at Playground Basketball... but The Report of the Week stillllll can't get Josh to collab on YouTube for a taste test.

canman87

I only just had my first Double Down a week ago and it was... fine. I mean, it's basically just a bunch of chicken and other things that the chicken flavor overwhelms. I actually got the spicy version and it did have a nice little kick to it, but you could have convinced me that there wasn't any bacon or cheese on it purely from a flavor perspective. The cheese does kind of hold everything together, so perhaps it's more important in that regard, but the bacon didn't really do anything for me.

I'd probably get another if the opportunity came up, but I'm not going out of my way to make that happen.

This is actually still around, but not in the states. A couple of years ago kfc launched a modified version of it in china that used crayfish and lettuce instead of the cheese and bacon.

I think they still sell them in large quantities in select cities like beijing or shanghai

They are awesome, but severely unhealthy sandwiches that people used to order. The original was called the Fat Cat

YAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!
Soooo good.
Tragic that they have all but vanished.

Justin Harvie

@XZ The original guys are still making them ever since the 90s. Called RUHungry in New Brunswick. Home of the original fat sandwich.

I tried it a few times as a teen and it was soooo good. Where I’m from the double down first debuted in 2012 and KFC was smart to promote it alongside the Avengers movie release as marketing.

I don't know when this report was originally aired, but on 3/6/23 KFC brought back the double down and it will be available until the end of March 2023. Also I am surprised that the report did not make any mention of the Cha'King sandwich from BK which was rated the best out of all the chicken sandwiches on the market at that time.

I am blessed to be able to get a Zinger Triple Down about 2 years ago. Quite the monstrosity, energy lasted me the whole day.

Here in the Philippines, there is a "Triple Down" which is considered a secret menu that can only be ordered through delivery.

I had my first double-down just this year and my god. My taste buds have been missing out.

This actually isn't as unhealthy as it may sound. Minus the fried and bacon factors, you actually have a keto diet alternative. There is no bread and therefore way less carbs. I had one today. It was pretty good. I wish they had a grilled alternative. ✌️

Jacob Archer

If only the keto diet was actually healthy.

@Jacob Archer keto diet is not healthy?

KFC needs to bring back their original BBQ chicken from the 80's and corn on the cob (the full cobs, not the quartered ones they were selling at full price before they switched over to bowls of corn). Back then, there were only two types of chicken you could order there, BBQ or regular (this is before it was called Original when Extra Tasty Crispy arrived).

I had double down the first time they released it and it was wonderful. I'm hoping it was just as good when they bring it back.

I was wondering why they didn’t have the double down anymore and now I’m now equally sad and thankful for the answer.

G-Fox Gaming

I love the double down and the original twister I hope they bring that one back as well

Here's the official statement! He's absolutely correct. Coming back tomorrow, March 6th, for four weeks. Now's your chance!

I'd love to try it, I'm sure as a diabetic it would actually be better for me than a normal burger!

This is definitely not the worst of the fast food sammiches. The Double Western Bacon Cheesburger from Carl's Jr takes the cake. I use to add extra bacon and BBQ sauce and dip every bite with Ranch to make it that much better! Ha fun fat foodies times in my 20's!

The double down was the single greatest innovation in food ever. I miss it so much.

I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack just from watching this.
And now I also really, really want a fried chicken sandwich

Sterile Pancake🏳️‍⚧️

The editing in this is really good/funny. I heard they're bringing it back for a limited time, so maybe I'll try it.

Ｒｕｓｈｎｅｒｄ

I remember trying the double down at the time just once on a whim and it was the richest thing I've ever experienced. I could not eat the whole thing.

Holy cow, I've never wanted a Double Down as much as I do the one with the mozzarella patty in the middle...

It's crazy that I only tried this once in my life.

George Magee

Here in New Zealand the double down used to be a yearly thing where at the same time each year they would release it along side two variants which changed each year. They didn't do it last year sadly. Hoping they bring it back this year.

Jonnie Omen

yeah its back this year
seen teases for it already

Astella holloway

@Jonnie Omen yeah its still on the menu

I loved the Double Down! What could be healthier than a chicken sandwich with bacon, cheese, and no carbs?

Richard Dimple

Technically there is carbs in the breading, but not as much as a bun.

I'm not a robot

No carbs if you make the breading with bacon bits.

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.

I always wondered if you can order the infamous Double Down Sandwich at KFC if you asked nicely for them to make it?

I remember the craziness in Toledo, OH when Popeye's put their chicken sandwich on the menu. People were wrecking their cars trying to get into the drive-thru as quickly as they could.

mike math

i really liked the double down back when it came out. only had the one but it wasn't greasy and messy like i expected.

Mohammad Adil Kazmi

Also, there’s Chizza by KFC in India which is like a pizza sans the dough base but with the fried chicken base with toppings.

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 remember going to KFC in 2010 as soon as these were released. It was delicious. That may have been the last time I went to KFC though..

Here in Spain, they introduced this circa 2021 (covid has been a blur so time is hard for me) and called it "infame" or infamous, in english. Uber eats also had it on a 2x1 for a fairly extended time, so you can bet your ass my friends and I ordered it way too often. Good times.

B Targ

In the UK we have all sorts of promotional temporary items like this but the Double Down is legendary

Caleb holt

It certainly has been considered a health food item. It's missing the bread which is the actual unhealthy part of a chicken sandwich. So it's healthier than a chicken sandwich. Now the only thing unhealthy about a double down is the oil it's fried in. Choose a different oil you are getting pretty close to perfectly healthy as the breading is much healthier than other chains crispy breading. The sandwich is almost all protein, it's pretty good.

Herb Welch

I used to get two Double Downs minimum once a week when they were on the menu. Probably the best fast food sandwich ever made. If it were available right now I’d eat Double Downs until I hated myself and vomited. Then get a Double Down because I’d be hungry again.
