Replacing bread with fried chicken?

KFC's Bacon Sandwich On Fried Chicken "Bread" Starts Killing People Nationwide April 12 - The Consumerist

Last August, we wrote about the "Double Down," a mysteriously tempting (and potentialy lethal) new food item being tested by KFC. For those coming late to the story, it's bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken. And now, many months later, I'll finally be able to get my hands on one.

KFC announced the decision to go live with the Double Down yesterday, but we weren't sure they weren't playing a April Fools gag. But no, they truly are going nationwide with the delicacy on April 12.

I wanna know how is it only 540 calories? It's really not that bad at all when compared to some those other sandwiches that are out there

Looks to me like they're skimping on the bacon.

This is a clear evolutionary step, IMHO. Like fish with feet

Quite possibly some of the best news in centuries.

A damn white enriched flour bun - which has no nutritional value whatsoever - would be about half of that amount of calories by itself.

This "sandwich" is better for you than one piece of chicken, with bacon, on one of those empty buns.

The greatest invention since sliced bread!

Whatever you say, Dr. Atkins.

These posts deserve some GPA's!

The Double Down 11g carbs, 53g protein
Grilled Double Down 3g carbs, 61g protein

For comparison:

Snacker Sandwich 28g carbs, 15g protein

Interesting.

lulz @ the "it's real"

This meatwich and cheese looks awesome. I might start camping out front of my local KFC tomorrow to make sure I'm first in line. Add double bacon and double cheese for a real winner.

Actual size- half a slider.
