Sandwich With No Bread: KFC's New Double Down

  • MSNBC, Tuesday, April 6, 2010 10:36 AM
KFC is introducing a Double Down sandwich that consists of two white meat chicken breast fillets with a filling of bacon, Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese with Colonel's Sauce. A ticker on KFC's Web site is counting down the minutes until its rollout this weekend. It comes either grilled or fried and will sell for about $5, depending on the market.

"It was extremely popular in test," says KFC spokesman Rick Maynard. "Obviously it's a unique sandwich."

The fried version has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium; the grilled version has 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and 1,430 milligrams of sodium. "If you want a more healthy option you can get a two-piece Kentucky Grilled meal with two vegetables," says Maynard. "That is about 370 calories."
