It features a buttermilk-battered chicken breast, barrel-cured pickles, and a chili-infused Ghost Pepper Sauce on a toasted brioche bun. In other words, it is identical to Popeyes’ wildly popular classic Chicken Sandwich (700 calories) except for replacing the mayo with that new Ghost Pepper Sauce.
The Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich isn’t the only exciting new option that is making its debut at Popeyes today. To celebrate the fall season, the chain is also offering a new Apple Cranberry Tea and Apple Cranberry Lemonade, both of which feature tart cranberry and warm spice flavors. The new beverages and chicken sandwich will only be available for a limited time, so interested customers shouldn’t wait too long before stopping by their local Popeyes.
As a final goodie for fans, Popeyes is offering a new “Chick or Treat” promotion that provides customers with a free Chocolate Chip Biscuit with any purchase over $5. Running from Oct. 7 through Oct. 31, this deal is available online and via the Popeyes app. Guests can also score the freebie in person when they ask for it at checkout.
