It seems they really like to double it up over in China, at least if the KFC Double-Pepper, Double-Chicken Sandwich is any indication.

The latest sandwich at KFC China features two crispy-fried chicken filets splashed with not one but two different chili sauces; one red, one green, and both looking legitimately spicy. Along for the ride is some leaf lettuce and a sesame bun.

Review: Nabisco - Mallomars

Nabisco's Mallomars are round graham crackers topped with a marshmallow and covered in dark chocolate. They've been around since 1913 and are not distributed by Nabisco during the summer months (that doesn't mean you can't find them; it just means they don't ship them out).

Frozen Friday: El Monterey - Chicken & Cheese Flour Taquitos

El Monterey's Chicken & Cheese Flour Taquitos feature chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and Mexican spices rolled inside an oven-baked flour tortilla.

They come in a 24-ounce pack of 16 taquitos for around $4.99.

News: Jack in the Box - Chipotle Chicken Club Returns

The Chipotle Chicken Club is back at Jack in the Box for a limited time and with it, the Chipotle Chicken Club Combo for $4.99.

The sandwich features a spicy crispy chicken filet, hickory-smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, on toasted sourdough rounds. The combo tacks on a small order of fries and a drink.

The sandwich and combo were also offered around this time last year.

Review: McDonald's Crispy Chicken and Ranch McWrap

McDonald's Crispy Chicken and Ranch McWrap is the last of the McWrap Trio that I tried. It features crispy chicken breast strips, two half slices of tomato, cucumber slices, spring greens, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar jack cheese, seasoned rice vinegar, and buttermilk ranch sauce for $3.99.

Local News: $2 McWraps at Los Angeles Area McDonald's Through April 15

McDonald's restaurants in the Southern California market are hoping you'll try the new McWraps by offering them for $2 each through this Monday, April 15.

McWraps are normally sold at $3.99 a piece and the promo price brings them down to Snack Wrap territory. That's pretty good considering they're more than twice as big.

As the deadline to file tax returns looms (Monday, April 15), a number of US eatery chains seek to alleviate the stress a bit by offering deals to help celebrate getting it done.
