My kitchen sink is really clogged
The double sinks run into the same drain pipe. My guess would be that drain pipe is clogged usually where it bends (could be several feet from the sink). Remove the elbow bend completely (or the tightening bands on each end of the elbow) and use a snake to remove the clogs. Also guessing this is an older home? No garbage disposal?

GoldenGoose...their is no garbage disposal.
Yes, so the clog is probably in that main drain pipe where it eventually bends. Probably 10 or 12 feet away from the sink.

I suspect the clog is further on down the main drainpipe or the Draino / Liquid Heat / Vinegar & Baking Powder would have worked.
In any event, you'll need a Plumber's Snake to bust the blockage up wherever it turns out to be found.

A plumber once suggested that after you get it fixed...place a capful of bleach down the drain, the bleach will keep the drainpipe slick and nothing will stick to it

7 years too late
just could be a little bit of plastic in there blocking everything
one of my tenants called me out about a blocked toilet recently, turns out he flushed a plastic bag down the toilet which I found once I opened the sewer drain

The only thing that has ever worked for me when everything else failed is Thrift Drain Cleaner. You can find it at most supply stores. it was recommended to me by a plumber who put my sink in a few years ago. He said it was by far the best chemical that he's ever seen for clogs. It's kind of expensive, but it only takes a very small amount. So a small jar goes a long ways. It's activated by boiling water and only takes about a minute to do it's job.

It's frustrating when your kitchen sink gets clogged! First, try a plunger after ensuring there's enough water around the drain to aid suction. If that doesn't work, mix 1/3 cup of baking soda with 1/3 cup of vinegar, pour it down the drain, and let it sit for an hour or overnight, followed by hot water. Alternatively, use a plumber's snake or a kitchen wire hanger to gently remove the clog. Avoid chemical drain cleaners as they're harsh and can damage your pipes. If the problem persists, it might be time to call a professional plumber to prevent further issues.
