Popeyes is announcing that the Blackened Chicken Sandwich is hitting its restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. The breading-free, flavorful sandwich is the first permanent addition to the Popeyes chicken sandwich family since its iconic launch in 2019. As guests seek more variety, Popeyes is also introducing a Bacon and Cheese add-on to any sandwich, giving guests multiple options when craving a high-quality chicken sandwich.
Popeyes Blackened Chicken Sandwich features an antibiotic-free (as defined by the World Health Organization in Critically Important Antimicrobials for Human Medicine : 6th Revision), whole chicken breast, which is marinated for 12 hours, seasoned with a blend of Cajun spices, and served atop a warm, toasted buttery brioche bun with Popeyes' house classic or spicy mayo and crunchy barrel-cured pickles. With none of the breading and all of the flavor, the Blackened Chicken Sandwich is suitable for diners seeking more of an everyday option. Starting June 6, 2023, guests can get their hands on the Popeyes Blackened Chicken Sandwich at restaurants nationwide starting at $4.99.
