The Double Down Sandwich, which is made up of two chicken filets with cheese, two strips of bacon and mayo, will be back on menus on Monday for a four-week run, the company announced.

When the Double Down first appeared in 2010, KFC sold more than 10 million of the sandwiches, according to USA Today.

After its first run, the sandwich was retired and then brought back to the KFC menu in April 2014.

“The Double Down is one of the most buzzworthy fast food menu items ever,” KFC U.S. chief marketing officer Nick Chavez said in a press release. “After nearly a decade of people begging for its return, we’re embracing the chaos, bringing back our most iconic sandwich ever for just four weeks.”

KFC is owned by Yum Brands, which also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, among other brands.
