KFC's most famous burger — the Double Down — is coming to the UK

If you simply can't get enough of fried chicken, the sandwich of your dreams is coming to the UK.

The KFC Double Down, which is popular in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, is coming to the UK for six weeks only.

The "sandwich" forgoes the bread for two chicken fillets, which sandwich together crispy bacon, melted Monterey Jack cheese, and BBQ sauce. It will set you back £4.79, or £5.79 with fries and a drink.

The fast food chain announced the launch with a video on Twitter:

The Double Down is due to arrive into UK KFC stores next Monday October 9.

According to Metro, KFC received "hundreds of tweets and messages from British fans for the sandwich to be launched here."

"There’s been so much excitement for the Double Down since it first launched to the US in 2010," said Jack Hinchliffe, Innovation Director at KFC UK & Ireland.

"It’s sold out in every country that it’s been released in, so we’re anticipating it’ll be a sell-out success here in the UK."

"Fandom has gone wild over the past few years on social media, and we’ve even had reports of our customers taking things into their own hands by hacking the menu to create the sandwich," he added.

"It seems people agree with us…there’s nothing better than an Original Recipe fillet, so if you can’t beat it – double it!"
