For more than 10 years Canadians have been demanding the return of KFC’s best-selling sandwich of all time: the KFC Double Down.
Ingredients
Renowned as the world’s first-ever bun-less sandwich, the KFC Double Down boasts crispy bacon, Canadian Monterey Jack cheese and finger lickin’ good sauce, all sandwiched between two deliciously seasoned, hand-breaded, extra crispy chicken fillets.
While other sandwiches hide in their buns, the Double Down lives its truth as the ultimate checkmate in the chicken sandwich wars.
History
Making its first debut on the KFC Canada menu in October 2010, the Double Down was an instant success, selling over 250,000 sandwiches in its first two weeks on the market.
The special edition menu item made a lasting impression and left Canadians hungry for another go.
Noble iterations — mini, zinger, waffle — helped fill a void, but calls for an original comeback persisted, with fried chicken lovers taking to social media — daily — to make their cries heard.
Is the Double Down still available 2021?
The Double Down makes its official return to Canada on Monday, October 4, with early access starting September 29.
You can order the sandwich alone, the combo (with individual fries and your choice of drink) or the ultimate box meal (with individual popcorn chicken, individual fries, individual side, and your choice of drink).
Before the official launch date, the KFC Double Down is known as the “If You Know you Know.”
