Got the fried version. Alas, there will be no unboxing video...
I have not eaten KFC in ages, so first off, props should be given for the fries. Wedges, probably fried in the same oil as the chicken, pretty tasty. As for the Double-Down itself, it's smaller than they portray in the commercials, not really as daunting a task as I expected. Not as salty as I expected either, but you can tell the NaCl is prevalent. Very greasy. I was right about the bacon, it's not really enough for the inside of a chicken sandwich, I could barely taste it over the chicken itself. The "cheese" was disappointing, they say it's 2 slices, but I'm betting it is processed cheez, applied like caulk to seal the whole thing together. The breasts are not fried to order like Lemur's article stated, I ordered through the drive-thru and got it right away.
From a fast food standpoint: Not bad. The chicken itself was pretty juicy, I think they use the spicy breading which is a plus. The breast-buns are smallish, we are not talking Perdue sized. I could have eaten another easily without thinking I had overeaten for lunch.
From a normal persons standpoint: Not good. A lot of salt, a lot of grease. The grilled version is probably healthier, but still.
