Around the World: KFC Japan - Double Down with Rice Between the Chicken...

KFC Japan takes the Double Down a step further with the oddly translated "Kentucky Chicken Rice." The new, limited-time item is so named because it introduces rice between the two fried chicken filets the infamous Double Down is known for.

Specifically, the Kentucky Chicken Rice comes with a patty of ketchup rice, a slice of cheddar cheese, tomato sauce, and a special sauce (i.e. the Colonel's sauce) sandwiched between two Original Recipe fried chicken filets.

The new menu item will be unleashed on the Japanese populace this Thursday, February 7, 2013 and it will be priced at 450 yen ($4.83 US; cheaper than the Double Down back in 2010!).

I don't know how I like ketchup rice with fried chicken... They should just put a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy in between the chicken filets and be done with it!
