The Return of the KFC Double Down
+12/02/2025
++ OK this is a silly post but my friends asked me for a full + review of the new kfc zinger double down. So here it is. +
++ The double down is The Goblin Meal To End All Goblin meals. Two + chicken fillets as the buns in a burger, with something + (previously bacon, now a hash brown) in the middle. It sounds + horrible and honestly it kind of is, but that good kind of + horrible that you only get with a really grotty fast food meal. +
++ It's awful. I love it. Haven't had one since they were last + about in idk, 2019? +
++ Anyway they've made a new one and today I ate it. Was it good? + Let's find out! +
++
OK I have just finished eating it. It is Bad.
++ The old double down was bad, but you kinda knew what you were + getting. It was just two slabs of chicken, a bit of processed + cheese, and a slice of bacon. In reality those other two + elements didn't make much of a dent in the flavour profile and + all you really tasted was KFC chicken. +
++ Some elements are still ok, the chicken is fine, the cheese is + still shite but edible. But god, the hash brown? +
++ The addition of the hash brown messes with both the consistency + and the flavour; it's now a weird mess of stodge that is + honestly quite unpleasant in the mouth. +
++ I will admit, me aging and the diet I've been on in prep for + surgery in March has changed my response to a lot of fast food; + I had a dominos pizza the other week as a treat and I simply did + not like it anymore. So me disliking it may not all be on the + double down, but it certainly didn't help itself. +
++ So yeah do not rate. I wouldn't buy it if I were you. 3/10. + Alright cheers everyone see you in the next post. +
