but the sandwich cries out for carbs !
indeed , the sandwich is n't need any sides .
the bacon was legit -- it did n't have the usual weirdly chewy , artificial bacon - bit taste -- but it was essentially lost , both physically and flavor - wise ( along with the cheese ) , between the two behemoth chicken filets .
lift up the top breast piece -- which surely must be a half - breast cut latitudinally , and find two very thick slices of gummy white cheese and a special colonel 's sauce .
while we probably would n't order another ( unless you 're really jonesing for a salt fix ) , we happily finished off the one we bought .

it 's probably not the worst $ 5 meal in town .
the day has finally come for kfc 's gluttonous double down sandwich to premier , and we were among the first in line to test it this morning ( yes , we were eating this sandwich at 10:45 a.m. ) .
and there was a lot of discussion around whether the cheese was really a cheese spread , or if it had just melded with the special sauce.with a complete bite of chicken , cheese , bacon and sauce , this sandwich really is n't bad .
