We’ve seen this coming for a while now.  I wasn’t a big fan of the Double Down from KFC, but I am looking forward to getting back to a real chicken sandwich… you know with actual bread.  KFC is unleashing a new chicken sandwich called the Doublicious and this time KFC is making an interesting choice of bread with using a Hawaiian bun.  I’m a big fan of Hawaiian bread and this slightly sweet roll should act as a nice balance to all the salty ingredients within. Original Recipe fillet, Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and Colonel’s Sauce in a Hawaiian bun.  A Grilled version will also be available and include Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce and honey mustard barbecue sauce.  Look out for it July 5th.

UPDATE: Doublicious Review

Seems like the KFC Double Down is a hit and I’m having trouble believing it.  So much of a success that it’s going to stick around beyond it’s original May 23rd end date.  I didn’t love the Double Down, but after nearly 10 million sandwiches sold, KFC has decided to have it available through the summer.   Since I wasn’t crazy about the Double Down, I’m ready for a change.  I’m looking forward to the Doublicious.  Back in February I wrote:

Spotted in Nebraska, the KFC Doublicious Chicken Sandwich.  Details are a bit scarce but the Doublicious includes cheese, bacon some zesty sauce and available in Original Recipe or Grilled chicken. The best part seems to be that it’s served on a sweet Hawaiian bun.  I’m a big fan of Hawaiian bread.  The Doublicious combo meal was around the $5.00 area in Nebraska.

Well thanks to an inside tip from one of our readers, I now know that the Doublicious is going nationwide on July 5th.  And why is it called Doublicious?  Apparently there are 2 versions of it.  We’ll keep you posted.
