KFC Is Bringing Back A Ridiculous Sandwich That Has Fried Chicken For A Bun
The sandwich, which is re-launching on April 21, contains slabs of bacon, two slices of melted cheese and the Colonel's "Secret Sauce."
The whole thing is contained by two pieces of fried chicken, instead of a bun.
The Double Down debuted for a limited time in 2010 and immediately became a target for late-night comedy.
"This is deep-fried madness," Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert said of the sandwich when it launched. "This is breaded insanity. It is a sandwich that lacks all sandwich-ness. It's like an edible Hieronymus Bosch painting wrapped in a paper straitjacket. If a sandwich has no buns, can it truly be called a sandwich?"
The recipe from 2010 had 540 calories and 32 grams of fat, according to The Consumerist.
The Internet seems to be pretty psyched that the sandwich is making a comeback.
