KFC to bring back the Double Down...but with Waffles

KFC is doubling down on its efforts to appeal to the Canadian market.
The fast-food chain is bringing back its breadless sandwich — but with a new, sugary component meant to offset, or perhaps supplement, the bun proxy that is the savoury deep-fried chicken.
Like the original Double Down, the latest incarnation also features two chicken fillets in the place of bread, but instead of the bacon-and-cheese filling there’s a Belgian waffle drizzled in a maple-aioli sauce.

Is it a big crunch piece on each side? If so, even without tasting it, I can say its one of the greatest inventions ever.

Err... hurray?

Seriously, I'd just be happy with KFC simply bringing back normal size pieces instead of nugget size.

Have to try the double down waffle at least once. Actually looks pretty good.

would have been a better idea to put the waffles on the outside...this looks terrible. You wont even taste the waffle, it's a waste of extra calories. And kfc chicken is like half the size now so the waffle is gonna be 2 times larger than the chicken. Assuming it's a regular sized waffle.

Got one for free this morning at Queen/Greenwood. Way too much chicken and not enough waffle. Definitely wouldn't pay $10 for it.

WTF - that thing is 10 bucks?? I just checked the latest KFC coupons and you can get an entire Family Meal 9 piece bucket plus fries plus salad for 19.99. Or a 12 piece bucket plus fries and gravy for 21.99. I don't get the economics of pricing one sandwhich at $10.

It's $8.99 + tax. But they were giving them away for free at select locations today.

FYI they are also bringing back the Original Recipe Double Down, a little later... mid-April 2018.
