Who needs a soggy bun when your hot dog can be wrapped in fried chicken?

Kentucky Fried Chicken is replacing bread with meat at select Philippines restaurants, according to a Facebook post from KFC Philippines.

There are no plans for the fast food chain in the United States to add the sandwich to the menu, according to KFC.

The new Double Down Dog sandwich features a hot dog covered in cheese and fitted into a bun-size piece of fried chicken.

On Jan. 26 and 27, the brave and hopefully heart healthy can purchase the sandwich from participating KFC's in the Philippines, the Facebook post says.

Only 50 of the sandwiches are available per day and by the time many Americans were getting ready for work, the sandwiches were already sold out in the Philippines, according to an Instagram post from the KFC Philippines account.

Many on Twitter had a lot to say about the meaty sandwich. Some were mystified by its very existence.

Others noted that it was actually a "time saver."

It's not the first time KFC created a meat sandwich. In 2010, select American chains offered the Double Down sandwich.
