The KFC Double Down made waves when it first launched back in 2010 but was only available for a short while leaving many fans eager to get their hands on another one, which they now can. The QSR brand has announced it will be reviving the sandwich for a short four-week stint to provide patrons with the chance to enjoy the protein-focused item once again. The sandwich features the familiar silhouette of the original with two pieces of Extra Crispy chicken breast fillets that act as buns to sandwich two pieces of bacon, two slices of cheese and mayo or spicy sauce.
The KFC Double Down will be available starting March 6, 2023 and will arrive at participating locations in the US nationwide.
