KFC-Inspired Korean Double Down

Let’s all agree that KFC’s Double Down is ridiculous. Bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken? It’s straight out of a doctor’s nightmare. Yet, it’s a cult favorite of all grease-loving fast food fanatics.

This recipe was meant to be just a regular Double Down food hack. But in our quest to make it better, we decided to change it up a bit. Enter the Korean Double Down.

This recipe follows the basic anatomy of the KFC classic: bacon, mayo, cheese. But here we use samgyeopsal (pork belly) and gochujang mayo, plus a bit of kimchi for a tangy crunch.
