Referred to in North America as the “double down”—and known to be one of the fattest slabs of lard there is within the world of fast-food—the fearsome Chicken Fillet Double has launched in several Japanese KFC stores as of Feb 2. Instead of a bun, this “burger” boasts two chicken fillets performing the breadlike duty of containing two cheese slices, bacon, and mayo. Why use bread when you can use “chicken?” Warning: any form of strenuous physical activity after consumption could lead your heart to explode.
