It looks gross. I saw people in test markets [eating](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB_lJI2tqjU) it on [Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_g2HjWX_FI&feature=related), and it looks even more gross. However, something deep in my soul is telling me to buy one. ---

I will try it once. But, I’ll put it on a bun, with lettuce & maybe onion. And hopefully each half of it once & the rest later. ---

A pretty entertaining account from someone who actually tried it: > **[KFC's insane Double Down taste-tested: Release the cracklin'!](https://www.salon.com/2010/04/12/kfc_double_down_taste_test/)** > > Bacon, cheese, mayo-ish sauce and two slabs of fried chicken as the bread. A bite-by-bite account So what say you Dopers? Anyone here man enough to take one for the team and scarf one of these babies down? ---

I think I would like it if it HAD GOOD cheese (not that it wouldnt still be pretty damn unhealthy). But you can almost bet that the cheese they use makes the rest of the ingredients look high dollar by comparision. ---

Think about it. It’d be like, “What’s that? A double chicken sandwich? Pffft. Snooze. Any jackass can make a double chicken sandwich.” Somehow, by taking off the processed-food bread, KFC made this thing look deadly. ---

I’m eating it right now. It’s different than I thought it would be. The two pieces of chicken I expected to be thinner and crispier, but they’re pretty thick and more “original” than “extra crispy”. It’s definitely salty, but I like that. It’s a chicken sandwich with a lot of chicken and no bread.
