Popeyes Just Turned Their Iconic Biscuit Into A New Sandwich

Popeyes likes to keep tabs on what y’all are doing with their food. In fact, they decided to take a little creativity from the crowd and turn it into their latest menu item. Fans have found their way to combining the brand’s signature chicken and biscuits with honey on social media. A simple idea at its core but one that was so impressive that Popeyes decided to make it official.

The Honey Chicken Biscuit

Real creative with the naming, Popeyes. Available beginning September 28th, the Honey Chicken Biscuit is a simple but bold way to bring an array of flavors together―that iconic chicken from Popeyes on a larger version of their iconic buttermilk biscuit, paired with two sachets of sweet honey sauce, all for just $5! We simply love a good deal on top of all the rest.

Popeyes calls it “a recipe that could only come from a Real Louisiana Kitchen.” Well, maybe they’re talking about their chicken itself. Because as we already discussed, this quite literally was made by their fans across the country. As far as I can tell, not all of them are crafting it up in “a Real Louisiana Kitchen.”

“At Popeyes, quality and bold flavor guide everything we do, and we’re always looking for new ways to bring our most iconic items together,” said Matt Rubin, Popeyes Chief Marketing Officer. “The Honey Chicken Biscuit is exactly that: our craveable chicken, our iconic buttermilk biscuit, and sweet honey sauce, crafted into one new sandwich. It’s simple, it’s unmistakably Popeyes, and it shows the kind of culinary care that turns flavors people already love into something entirely new.”

Just Fluff Things Up For Credit

This sandwich does bring Popeyes’ bold flavor and culinary credentials into a delicious, handheld bite, balancing crunchy and soft, savory and sweet, in a combination true to the brand’s Louisiana roots. This is signature menu innovation at its heart, proof that some of the biggest ideas come from reimagining what’s already cooking in our kitchens. It just goes to show, you can get a lot of mileage out of a reimagination of a few regular ole menu items.

The Honey Chicken Biscuit arrives on the heels of “THAT Chicken from Popeyes,” the brand’s new national campaign celebrating the bold flavor, handcrafted preparation and unmistakable generosity that have made Popeyes chicken iconic for more than 50 years.

Again, Only $5!

Let’s just focus on the important thing. It’s not how we got to the end result but just the simple fact that we can get a bangin’ chicken sandwich for only $5. I’ll take any deal I can get at this point. The new Honey Chicken Biscuit will be available at participating Popeyes restaurants, the Popeyes app, and Popeyes.com nationwide beginning September 28th.
