KFC's bunless burger, the Double Down, is back in New Zealand outlets - both in its original form and with a new Korean BBQ variant.
The latter features two Zinger fillets, bacon, cheese and a new KFC-made Korean barbeque sauce.
"Our food teams have been working hard to perfect this latest offering," said KFC general manager Clark Wilson. "We've developed a delicious 'Swicy' sauce, a blend between sweet and spicy, taking inspiration from Korean cuisine to offer a refined balance of flavours.
"This flavour profile, combined with the crispy coating and heat of Zinger, is something we think Kiwis will love."
The original Double Down features two Secret Recipe fillets, bacon, cheese and the Colonel's Special Sauce, the same recipe first introduced to Aotearoa in 2011. It caused some controversy due to its high levels of sodium, fat and cholesterol.
In the years since it has returned in a few different variations, such as Hot Honey and Bacon Lovers. A teriyaki Double Down was released in Aotearoa in partnership with Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise in 2019, the year the Rugby World Cup was held in Japan.
The original Double Down and the Korean BBQ revamp were added to KFC menus across New Zealand on Tuesday.
KFC said they will be available for a limited time, but did not specify how long a period that is.
