Popeyes Launching 2 New Chicken Sandwiches Today

Since 2019, Popeyes' chicken sandwich has been a consumer favorite. Back then, stores countrywide sold out and queues of automobiles

snaked around Popeyes' parking lots to try one. The chicken sandwich craze may be waning, but the company just offered fans two new reasons to be thrilled.

Starting today, Popeyes will permanently introduce their Blackened Chicken Sandwich and allow customers to make any chicken sandwich into a bacon

A cajun-marinated chicken breast replaces the breaded fillet in the Blackened Chicken sandwich. 

The traditional sandwich has 700 calories, but this sandwich, which debuted in May 2021 and returned in November 2022, has 550.

Popeyes' first permanent addition since 2019 will be the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. These sandwiches with barrel-cured pickles and traditional 

or spicy mayo on a toasted brioche bun will cost $4.99 at eateries worldwide. Any sandwich can be ordered with the Havarti-cheese-bacon add-on for $1.50.

Popeyes will give online and smartphone customers a free standard side with a chicken sandwich combo to commemorate these new menu items. 

Popeyes has seldom launched new chicken sandwich flavors since 2019. In 2022, the company offered a Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich with ranch sauce for a limited time.
