“Our Chicken Sandwich changed the QSR industry back in 2019, and since then, we’ve continued to innovate within the category to give our guests what they want – even more Chicken Sandwich options,” Sami Siddiqui, President of Popeyes North America, offered in a press release. “After the immense success of the Chicken Sandwich, we wanted to reinvent the category of traditional grilled chicken sandwiches with our all-new take on a non-breaded option, the Popeyes Blackened Chicken Sandwich. We’re excited for guests to try this delicious new offering, and knowing our history for trendsetting, we have a feeling it may spark some copycat Blackened Chicken Sandwiches down the road.”
As of now, the sandwich is only available for a limited time and retails for $4.99. The item is also on the verge of going viral, with many on social media getting their hands on the new sando throughout the day Tuesday; keep scrolling to see what they’re saying.
