In addition to the white meat nuggets, KFC is reintroducing its KFC Mac and Cheese Bowl for a limited time period from 3 April.

Earlier this month, KFC also relaunched its Double Down Sandwich, for a limited time period, after nearly a decade.

It was first introduced in 2010 and sold more than ten million sandwiches in the first month following its launch.

The Double Down Sandwich is a bun-less sandwich that consists of two white meat filets, two slices of cheese, and two pieces of crispy, hickory-smoked bacon, all topped with the Colonel’s real mayo or spicy sauce.

In addition to the Double Down, KFC also announced the launch of a new Bacon and Cheese Chicken Sandwich.
