As first reported by The Fast Food Post, Popeyes has officially launched its new line of Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwiches along with the return of the chain’s fan-favorite Blackened Chicken Sandwich.
Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich can be enjoyed in four varieties, including Classic, Spicy, Blackened, and Spicy Blackened.
The Classic Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich features a juicy chicken breast fillet marinated in the brand’s seasonings, hand battered and breaded in their proprietary buttermilk system, then fried until golden brown, and served between two buttery toasted brioche buns, topped with barrel cured pickle slices, classic mayo, Havarti cheese, and bacon.
The Spicy Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich includes all the same ingredients as the Classic, but with spicy mayo instead of regular mayo.
The Blackened Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich comes with a juicy chicken fillet that’s marinated in Popeyes’ blackened seasoning, then fried to perfection without the breading, and served on a buttery toasted brioche bun topped with crisp pickles, classic mayo, Havarti cheese, and bacon.
Just like the Spicy Bacon & Cheese Sandwich, the Spicy Blackened Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich offers all the same ingredients as the regular Blackened option, but with spicy mayo in place of classic mayo.
The brand’s new Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwiches are available a la carte for a suggested price of $6.79 each, or as part of a combo served with one regular side and one small drink for $11.19.
So, basically, they’re offering Bacon and Cheese as an add-on that can be added to any sandwich, starting at $1.50.
The brand’s full suite of new Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwiches can be found at participating Popeyes locations nationwide for a limited time. Prices may vary.
In addition, and as mentioned above, the Blackened Chicken Sandwich is also making a triumphant and permanent return to the Popeyes menu this summer.
Popeyes’ Blackened Chicken Sandwich features the same juicy chicken breast filet you know and love but marinated in the fried chicken chain’s blackened seasoning and fried without breading before being served on a toasted brioche bun with crisp pickles and your choice of classic or spicy mayo.
You can get the sandwich alone for a suggested price of $4.99 or as part of small combo meal with your choice of one regular side and one small drink for $9.49.
Starting now, the Blackened Chicken Sandwich will be available year-round as a permanent menu item at participating Popeyes locations across the nation.
