KFC introduces 'sandwich' with buns made of CHICKEN instead of bread (but at 1,228 calories, it's not exactly healthy)

From a quick glance at the menu, a 'bunless chicken sandwich' might sound like the ideal meal for slimmers.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is appealing to its carb-conscious customers by launching its first bread-free burger.

But dieters may wish to look a little more closely at the picture on the left before they place their order. The traditional bun has actually been replaced with two thick slabs of fried chicken.

The KFC 'Double Down', which goes on sale in the U.S. on Monday, contains two pieces of bacon and two melted slices of cheese, slathered in mayonnaise and sandwiched between two slices of meat.

Nutritionists are horrified by the launch of the fatty dish in a country where two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese.

KFC insists the sandwich contains 540 calories - but it has been reported that it actually racks up a much higher figure of 1,228, or about half of a man's recommended daily intake.

On top of this, fast food fans will consume 1,380 milligrams of salt and 32 grams of fat, including 10 grams of cholesterol-laden saturated fat, with each Double Down.


Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University's Rudd Centre for Food Policy and Obesity, described it as a 'salt bomb', adding: 'That's a better part of a day's sodium in one meal.'

The Double Down will cost £3.30, but will also be on offer as part of a £4.60 meal deal with potato wedges and a fizzy drink - taking the toll to 1,000 calories, 45 grams of fat and 2,120 milligrams of sodium.

The fast food chain has no plans to bring the Double Down to Britain at the moment, but KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said yesterday that there is 'no telling what the future may hold'.

He added: 'It's such a meaty chicken, there's no room for a bun.'

Wouldn't mind one of those right now. In a bap, with a mound of fries drenched in salt. And a bottle of ice-cold Fanta to wash it all down.
 
You know, if you sat down and, with intention, designed a delivery system for as much salt, fat and sugar in a meal, you couldn't do any better than a KFC meal. It's horrific. Still, you know what you're getting, and it's slightly less honest than these guys.

The Heart Attack Grill. Oh my God. Or OMG as the kids say. The quadruple bypass burger looks amazing. Even got a few wee slices of tomato to keep the veggies happy.
 
Their latest offerings resemble prison food. Didn't they have some kind of bowl monstrosity some time ago, with leftover fried chicken bits, beans and melted cheese on top. I wonder what kind of niche marketing strategy this is.

A bowl monstrosity followed by a bowel monstrosity from what you describe. :sick:
 
It's much worse than the "Lutherburger," a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two glazed Krispy Kreme donuts instead of regular burger buns.:sick:
