KFC's Zinger Double Down returns to Canada

June 10, 2013

KFC Canada has brought back the hot and spicy Zinger Double Down sandwich in stores through July 14.

The bun-less sandwich hasn't been available in Canada since March 2012.

"Canadian KFC fans have been awaiting this meaty sequel for quite some time," says David Vivenes, chief marketing officer, KFC Canada. "June and July are all about blockbusters and good times with friends, so it's the perfect season to bring Zinger Double Down back."

KFC Canada has been hinting about the Double Down's return on its Facebook page.

The Zinger Double Down features two premium seasoned chicken breasts, marinated in KFC's signature hot and spicy seasoning. Double-breaded by hand, the Zinger Double Down is then topped with spicy mayonnaise sauce, processed Pepper Jack cheese and two pieces of bacon.

The Double Down is KFC Canada's best-selling new menu item of all time. Vivenes says the offering actually has less fat and calories than many deluxe burgers and subs.
