[darkkent]

I hope they bring this to Calgary one day, just to try it.

A chicken sandwich that replaces the bread with 2 more pieces of fried chicken !

KFC in Canada is complete shit compared to in the states. In the states they still have biscuits and they don't even serve the shitty ass soggy fries we have here, instead they have tons of real sides such as corn on the cob, green beans, macoroni and cheese, etc. Not too mention its also half the price. I don't even bother going to KFC here anymore, but everytime I'm in the US I hit it up at least once.

[nonlinear]

^^they also have several different kinds of chicken, like hot n' spicy, extra crispy (my fave), etc. i agree that the sides here absolutely suck. the fries eat hole, and that coleslaw is the nastiest shit i've ever had. we still go occasionally here though, but only when we get the coupons in the mail and then we just get the chicken and make our own sides.

i don't get it though, they always give you dark meat only when you get like 8 pieces... what do you have to do to get a breast? is that something special? last time we went it absolutely sucked. they gave us a leg that was seriously the size of a large chicken wing. couldn't believe it.

[almerick]

Bump from the dead. It will be here next monday.

FUCKKK YAH!!

[ffmf]

FYI: It's already here.

I got one at the KFC at the Bow Bottom Trail and Canyon Meadows location.

Had one yesterday. It's not as disgusting as a triple baconator.

Alright, very, very, very few things on here ACTUALLY make me laugh out loud. This is one of them. :rofl:

[shakalaka]

Had it yesterday. It's pretty nice, I guess. The KFC on 17th Ave SE is where I got it from.

[beyond_ban]

Tik tok - What is in that picture? Looks like ice cream.

[almerick]

^ It's mechanically seperated chicken meat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_separated_meat)

Man I gotta hunt one of these sandwiches down.

[Guillermo]

From the description on KFC's website, I think it's a real breast filet, not a pressed one.

[Manhattan]

Had it in LA earlier this year. Surprisingly it wasn't filling as I thought and I'm not a big dude. In the states u can order a lot of stuff "protein style" which means the burger is wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. High on sodium, protein, and probably fat. Like any other fast food it wouldn't be terrible to have it every once in a while.

DDS itself was nothing special. Mine was overcooked and a little too crispy. I'd still rather have a famous star or in-n-out.

[thrasher22]

Got one in Montana in the summer and thought it kicked ass :D

I'm not known for my healthy habits though, but if you think about it, that's just eating two of their regular pieces of chicken, with a slice of cheese. It's not much worse than any meal you'd eat there...

[Guillermo]

For those of you who've had it, is it real chicken breast fillets, or is it a mechanically separated like in the pics above?

[dino_martini]

ate one today. Overpriced for what you get, not really that enjoyable imo. You could easily make a more delicious version at home.

[Isaiah]

Would rather eat:

It's real chicken breast. I'm pretty sure that picture is a fake anyway.

[pf0sh0]

Jesus christ pork brains ^^

[ExtraSlow]

Anyone down for a beyond prok brains supper? That looks delicous.

[GQBalla]

can't wait to try it, i think it came to Calgary yesterday

Why aren't the boxes lined in plastic? It's strange to see the gloves, coats and the product poured in an open cardboard box.

[Disoblige]

I wonder what kind of texture the Double Down chicken will have, being that it is MSM.

Like a hotdog, but chicken? lol.

It isn't.

[beyond_ban]

^^ I am guessing that the McChicken and similar products from McDicks are also mechanically separated meat. Soooo probably the same texture as that?

[almerick]

Probably the most similar would be the fried chicken (#6) from Wendy's because I think that's real chicken breast. :dunno:

I dunno, the McChicken is listed as a "breaded chicken breast meat patty"... that doesn't sound like an actual chicken breast to me.

"It isn't" applies only to the double down. :)

[Guillermo]

sigh.

for the record, the double down IS NOT mechanically separated meat. i understand that some folks have difficulties with reading comprehension, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! :nut:

Haha i was not disputing whether it was or not, as it was clearly stated above, i was trying to shed light on what mechanically separated meat tastes like.

[JRSC00LUDE]

(to the tune of the original spider man theme song)

Double-Down, Double-Down,
Made like only the Colonel can
Grab a gravy, any size,
Catches up, to your thighs
Look Out!
Here comes the Double-Down!

Is it great?
Listen bud,
It’s got battered chicken buns.
Can it deliver all they said?
Have a bite you fryer-head
Hey, there
There goes the Double-Down!

In the drunk of night
At the scene of a good time
Like a streak of greased light
It arrives just in time!

Double-Down, Double-Down
For your Friendly neighborhood Sanders Fan
Health and common sense
It ingnored
Deliciousness is your reward.

When you’re the Colonel, life is a great big fry up
Whenever there's a fry up
You'll find the Double-Down!

Just had the double down for lunch today. Definitely has WAY more sodium than anything out there. I downed my 16 oz. drink before I was even a quarter of the way through the sandwich, if one can still call it that. That said, boy was it ever good! :drool:

[cam_wmh]

I see the KFC & Taco Bell were boarded up today in the Petro-Canada tower. Wonder whatsup. Sure to ruffle some feathers lol.

That location has been boarded up for a few weeks now man, nothing new.

[phreezee]

Is the Double Down is available in Canada now at all KFC locations?

Noticed the KFC by Charleswood/Brentwood closed down too.

yea, they are closing everything in that area for the new high-density development.

[JZS_147]

So i had one of these for lunch,

It was smaller than I thought it would be, BUT it was delicious!

Indeed, thats what it says on my coupon in mail. I got it marked down oh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :clap:

[sabad66]

KFC in hunterhorn has it. It's okay... I thought it'd taste better though. Maybe because the chicken wasn't too fresh.

50 protein 17 carb 30 fat.. not bad if you're bulking lol.

Oh yeah and it is pretty salty like people have said.

That's what she said...

[mo_money2supe]

I picked mine up yesterday at the KFC in Westhills in case anyone nearby wants to try it.

[dr_jared88]

Tried one today. I'm glad I can say I've had one but I doubt I'd have another. It was Ok but no great. Tasted really salty.

[Jeremiah]

They need to bring the grilled chicken...

[JRSC00LUDE]

You need to stfu and go get a double down. :)

[Jeremiah]

too many carbs :devil:

[Disoblige]

Haha, I'll go try one.. or two before we never have it anymore.

November 14th is the last day they'll have it in Canada.

[ricosuave]

^ wtf? why?

[beyond_ban]

I tried one at lunch today... It was pretty good but kind of bland so i ordered a side of spicy mayo and loaded it up. I will definitely be eating another before they are gone.

[heavyD]

It was okay. The idea is better than the actual sandwich. The last 1/3 was like eating two breaded breast pieces. Kind of plain.

[dirtsniffer]

ill do it again before its gone

[R-Audi]

Maybe it was just the location... (McLeod by Ranchmans) but mine was crappy.. barely and breading and honestly wouldnt go back for another... (Friend and I both said the same thing)

On the other hand if it were the spicy/extra crunchy coating...

[phreezee]

So damn salty I had to drench it in ketchup. Dare I say it could have used some bread and lettuce...

[aypi]

Originally posted by R-Audi

this!!!

i didn't like it, too salty for me.

[shakalaka]

Why would it be gone? Is it meant to be a limited edition sandwich or something?

Anyhow, I've tried it twice. Probably won't be having it again.

[Disoblige]

It's gone on November 14. Limited time for Canada.

[nismodrifter]

Saw this shit in the states and never tried it.

Now I feel compelled to try just 1.

Will report back later.

[KristenA]

YUCK

[masoncgy]

I tried one today... it was super salty.

Would I have it again? No.

[Guillermo]

i was really looking forward to trying this, but after reading this thread, i'm not so sure...

for those of you who've had it, do you think it's something that people should try once? or is it bad enough that it's not worth the time and money?

[Disoblige]

lol.. Maybe just make sure they don't just hand you one that's been sitting there for a while.

It will likely vary on the person making it. Could be delicious, and could be disastrous. This is what happens with limited time offer items too.

[nismodrifter]

Went to KFC in Midnapore. They are sold out and said that alot of other locations are too.

[ornamental]

i had one yesterday, had to wait 10 mins for them to make it.
it was pretty good. i think its the sauce that makes it super salty so next time i will ask for no sauce. just pile up that goodness bacon and cheeze

no salty sauce please

Try it to say you've tried it. I probably won't have another one but I happy to say I've tried it. I'd like to try it with their sauce they put on the spicy chicken sandwich.

[dino_martini]

I ate one last Tuesday at the Southcenter KFC food court. Overpriced for what it is imo.

Not to bust your balls, but your post just made me laugh....Jesus Christ, its a fucking sandwich not a career choice. Buy one, eat it, decide for yourself. :dunno:

A five page (and counting) thread about a fast food item?!????
Fuck, we really are a bunch of losers on here.

Hahhah, I get what your saying, but for people who are actually watching their food intake, it really is somewhat of a big decision. I have been actively looking at reviews lol.

I tried two and they were both super salty. I wont be having a third.

[Darkane]

Bah - Double down my ass.

Guys I haven't even had one, but I've been doing this for years now!

My "homemade" double down wastes this.

Ingredients:

1 HUGE boness/skinless chicken breast or two little ones.

2 Medium thickness pieces of applewood smoked ham, or any ham. Toupee works excellent too.

Two swiss cheese OR Provalone slices.

Sugar free Honey Mustard OR Franks Buffalo sauce.

Directions:

BBQ the chicken breast 2-3min/side.

Take off grill and place on toaster over tray. Lay ham and cheese on breast and Broil for 3-5 min until cheese is melty and golden.

When done, slather in sauce and assemble. OR Dip that shit.

My version is much healthier, tastes perhaps better and doesn't kill you.

[Chojo]

So how much is a Double Down sandwich? Can't find the canadian online menu...

Kfc i went to had it for $6.99 just for the sandwich.

I guess there is a contest if you can eat 10 you win 500$.. haha

[Guillermo]

$7 for this? fuck! i don't think i'm ever going to try this, especially since about 98% of the reviews here are negative. what a ripoff.

But $500.00 barely even covers the cost of the ambulance ride to the hospital, let alone funeral costs and the like...

haha, 10 in one sitting, or 10 in a lifetime? sounds like there's enough sodium to kill you either way. :rofl:

Not really... almost all fast food would be a no go then...

And from what I've heard it's 10 in 1 sitting... or you know.... 13,000 g of sodium in 1 sitting o_O
