Only 500ish calories? WTF. Very sad to hear about this low number. Clearly needs more bacon, then batter dip and deep fry the whole thing. Then we'll talk.

Oog... the two I had earlier are not agreeing with me right now. I don't think I'll be getting any more in the future.

what part of your brain ever thought that 2 of them would be a good idea?

I had one at lunch and feel the same way.

Far to much grease and salt. It's a novelty that will wear off quickly, don't expect it to be on the menu for more than a few months.

KFC is THE WORST fast food? out there for causing me gastrointestinal distress, bar none.

It stopped being edibly digestible for me shortly after Pepsi Co. took it over and turned everything there into a fuster cluck of chemical mixes like the gravies, mashed potatoes and biscuits. Just look at that laundry list of preservatives, additives and fillers just in the colonels secret sauce. Now they even add BEEF flavoring to their GRILLED CHICKEN seasoning mix. Which is TRULY DISGUSTING!

The last time I ate there about 4 years ago, about an hour after eating there, I literally had to suddenly pull over and projectile vomit about 5 times in a parking lot, and then almost passed out from the pounding headache. And you don't even want to know what else happened "down south" a few hours after that. That sure was fast food all right. And I hadn't eaten there since.

That being said, Pepsi Co. spun off the food giants KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Long John Silvers into Yum! Brands in 1997 (oh, the bitter tasteless irony!). But not everything they touch is cursed with unholy corporate chemical crappiness. The problem here seems to be that their "food" companies are run under completely separate corporate management teams using different quality control and food suppliers.

Remember all the stomach and intestinal problems people reported when Olestra was dumped on an unsuspecting public as a food? Now let's just imagine, only for arguments sake of course, that some cheap assed fast food company looking to cut food costs by adding nasty chemical crap to food might be frying up darn near everything in a greasy oily mix of that, and then also adding it to mixes, batters, sauces and condiments, too. Sound tasty and delicious yet? And then they can just conveniently hide all the gut wrenching ingredients when people complain by saying it's a confidential trade secret whenever anyone craps their pants and projectile vomits on the cashiers from eating it and demands their money back.

And "food" made like that is definitely lower calories than other fast food, too. Since your body can't properly digest the congealed and preserved chemical slop and you puke it back up or it sprays out uncontrollably a few hours later.

A disgusting company like that only survives as a consumers intestinal parasite because there are always clueless parents willing to fork out money for a fast and cheap feed bucket of pig slop just to stuff their family of screaming fat brats they don't like that much anyway.

Got it today. Fried chicken breasts, 2x swiss + slimey bacon + some guthries sauce. Salty as jar of salt sprinkled on a salt rock.

Upset my stomach, taste was "meh". Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortada has it beat in the taste dept. 70g protein was the winner for me.

It didn't look nearly as good as the pictures indicate (obviously) but holy crap, I've never had anything so juicy, tender, and amazing in my life.

I'm, blown away right now, I'll eat this everyday if I could.

how much is it just for the 'sandwich'?

$4.99 for just the sandwich.

Went and got one for dinner... the guy at the counter said the Original Recipie one was better than the grilled. I trusted him... and he was right... the Original was tasty.

I dont get all these people saying it tasted like a salt sandwich.. didn't taste like salt to me... tasted like original recipie chicken.

it was kinda messy tho... needs a bun or something to hold it together.

that's what happens when you make it yourself.

It's not "fried chicken breasts" ... its not swiss cheese... and its definitely not guthries sauce.

Grilled Double Down
Sodium (mgs) 1430
Double Down
Sodium (mgs) 1380

I see people complaining about the amount of sodium in this. I love Popeye's 5 strip meal that is around $7 with tax. According to here that should be the equivalent of 3575 mg sodium for the strips alone. Not counting my biscuit, or my side of corn on the cob and my diet drink or sweet tea, whichever I choose to drink that day.

This sandwhich is small to me. SMALL!!!!! I may try one this week for lunch.

Oh, this sandwich reminds me of what my friend used to do, he would get 2 chicken sandwiches and a burger off the dollar menu.. and make a large triple decker sandwich out of it.


that would be an inverted mcgangbang. obviously.
