A popular chicken sandwich has returned. It's not just any sandwich. It's a cult classic and we'll be reintroduced to this wonderful sandwich starting on March 6th for a limited time.
Since it's been nearly a decade since the release of the fan favorite, allow me to bring you up to speed as to why this sandwich is iconic. The bun-free sandwich comes with two of KFC’s Extra Crispy white-meat chicken fillets (which serve as the "bread"), two slices of both cheese and hickory-smoked bacon, and is finished with the customer's choice of either KFC’s mayo or a spicy sauce.
KFC originally debuted the Double Down in 2010 and said it sold more than 10 million sandwiches in the item’s first month, even as it was initially considered an April Fools' Day prank since it was announced on April 1.
Still, due to much hype and fanfare, the brand brought it back in April 2014, only to wait until now to resurrect it. Yes, it's really been gone for that long, even though it feels like yesterday. The Double Down can be ordered on its own or in a combo meal that comes with an order of Secret Recipe Fries and a medium drink in restaurants and online through the KFC app or KFC’s website.
To sign up for the contest, head over to KFC’s special website devoted to the contest on March 2. If you’re really clamoring for it, be warned: It’ll only be available for pre-order on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 2,014 consumers. (That number is a clever nod to when the Double Down was last offered at KFC in the States.)
