Fresh on the back of the Double-Double Down is more KFC Double Down madness. These remind me of the Long John Silver’s Deep-fried Bottom of the Sea Wrap, Arby’s Every Animal on the Farm Sandwich or the McDonald’s Big McSausage Egg Surf & Turf Mac.
First up is the McKFC Double Up or Double Over from Reid at eHamOnRye. It’s your favorite sandwich from McDonald’s the classic Big Mac with a KFC Double Downs thrown in the middle for good measure.
Next up we have the KFC Quad Down from RalphabetSoup. Image eating 2 of the Double Downs stacked one on each other. That would be 1020 calories, 64 grams of fat and 2225 milligrams of sodium (or nearly 2 times your recommended daily intake).
From the minds at Serious Eats comes the delicious looking Homemade Double Down. Starting with chicken breasts soaked overnight in buttermilk and seasoned with black pepper, fresh garlic, and paprika, then deep-fried in peanut oil. The bacon is thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, the cheese is a layer of grated pepper Jack and the sauce is a mix of mayo, ketchup, fresh garlic, paprika, and a dash of Frank’s Red Hot sauce. Sounds and looks amazing to me. Head over to their site to see more drool inducing photos.
Lastly we bring you the wise use of the classic KFC biscuit for a Biscuit Double-Down Sandwich from Q at Brand Eating. For only $1 more he brings the Double Down into much needed territory with the always delicious, buttery biscuit. Hats off for him to thinking of this. It’s truly inspired. I’m sure KFC will take note and add it to the menu shortly. This one leaves me saying…”Why didn’t I think of that?”
UPDATE: I’ve found a few other Double Down homebrews that are making me hungry, especially that Buffalo Double Down.
