For the first time in nearly a decade, Kentucky Fried Chicken® is bringing back a menu item with a cult following, the KFC Double Down Sandwich. The KFC Double Down drops at KFC restaurants nationwide on Monday, March 6 for only four weeks!

The bun-less sandwich features two of KFC’s Extra Crispy, 100 percent white meat filets, two slices of cheese, two pieces of crispy, hickory-smoked bacon, with either the Colonel’s real mayo or spicy sauce. KFC originally debuted the Double Down in 2010, selling more than 10 million sandwiches in the first month and due to much hype and fanfare, the brand brought it back in April of 2014.

“The Double Down is one of the most buzzworthy fast food menu items ever,” said Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S. “After nearly a decade of people begging for its return, we’re embracing the chaos, bringing back our most iconic sandwich ever for just four weeks.”

On Sunday, March 5, KFC will host a Double Down Drop, allowing select fans early access to get a first taste one day before the rest of the country. Signups via www.kfcdoubledowndrop.com will open on March 2. Double Down enthusiasts will need to act fast, because the pre-order is only available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 2,014 consumers – a nod to when the Double Down was last offered on KFC U.S. menus.
