Popeyes' chicken sandwich is so popular it's adding nuggets to the menu
CNN
After the wild success of its chicken sandwich, Popeyes is adding more poultry to its menu with the launch of nuggets.
The item will be available starting July 27 to Popeyes customers in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The nuggets will essentially be smaller, bun-less versions of the sandwich. Like the chicken used in the company's popular sandwich, the nuggets are breaded in buttermilk and fried. It's a tricky time to introduce a new chicken item. Demand for white meat chicken is growing as more chains add fried chicken sandwiches to their menus. Supply chain constraints have driven up the prices of some chicken parts, and some restaurants are having a hard time meeting demand.More Related News
