Breading-Free Chicken Sandwich

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Popeyes Debuts the Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich

— November 15, 2022 — Lifestyle
Popeyes recently expanded its menu with the introduction of the breading-free, flavorful Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. Served fresh atop a buttery brioche bun with classic or spicy mayonnaise, a warm, toasted barrel-cured pickle, lettuce, tomato, and classic or spicy seasonings, the entire chicken breast is marinated for 12 hours.

“When we introduced the coveted Popeyes Chicken Sandwich in 2020 to Canadians, the market clamored to get their hands on the viral product that had taken over the US. Now, we’re excited to offer a new breading-free alternative to the classic with our first-of-its-kind Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich,” said Rob Manuel, General Manager of Popeyes Canada.

The Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich is now available at participating locations nationwide for a
limited time.
