It is available in a promotional combo with an individual order of Potato Wedges and a medium drink for $5. You can also buy it a la carte for $4.29 in my area. There's also a grilled variant (that replaces bacon with lettuce?!) that I'll take on later.
The Doublicious is pretty much an ordinary sandwich with a gimmicky and unexplained name. I guess it's the dual combination of the sweet bun and the savory filet? (The box does say "Two tastes. One sandwich.") Like the Double Down, it still tastes pretty salty although understandable less so than the Double Down. The filet breading was suitably crunchy and Original Recipe herby.
The Monterey Jack cheese, while a good thickness, was very mild, largely inoffensive, and barely there tastewise.
The main attraction would definitely have to be the bun. The bun was really squishy soft; like a cloud on your fingers! But seriously, it's really soft, and fairly light as well. It is what would typically be regarded as a junior-size bun at most fast food restaurant although it is a bit taller. Still, I like my biscuit idea better.
While the Doublicious is pretty good and well-built, it's just not something I would crave; it just doesn't have that extra intangible "oomph!" for me. It is also a tad expensive at premium fast food pricing. Still, I'm sure the Doublicious will find its fair share of fans.

I have a coupon for a free side and drink with the purchase of the sandwich. I think I will give it a try today for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI finally had one, and honestly I thought it was really good. Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting much (I was given it, I didn't get it myself). The whole sweet bun thing sounded weird, but it actually was alright, it's not too sweet like I was worried about. I must've got a great piece of chicken too, it was one of the best I've had at KFC in a while. And I don't usually like cheese with chicken in fast food, but you're right, it was mild and while it didn't add much, it didn't bother me. I noticed the bacon once in a while, but it's not very prominent. I guess that part could be better, but I don't generally buy chicken sandwiches for their bacon.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, overpriced, sure. But how many decent chicken sandwiches aren't these days? Taste wise it worked for me. I'd get it again if I had a coupon or something, or if someone else was buying. :)
I thought it would be Double Down sandwiched with bread but there is only 1 piece of chicken!
ReplyDeletehmm i like how u took these pictures on the grass. looks like a picnic or something.
ReplyDeletetried last night seemed to be dry chicken breast was over done real crunchy dry not juicyat all
ReplyDeleteWell I love this sandwich. Lots of flavor, its enjoyable. Though expensive for a small sandwich, which you then need more food. Going the meal route isn't worth it. Yeah a dollar more for plain wedges and a drink, weak choice. So getting a snaker or two will fill u up, making it a 8 dollar meal, and a lot of calories and fat, carbs and blah blah. Good to get on a rare occasion
