What's on the Popeyes menu
Popeyes brings a New Orleans accent to fried chicken. The bone-in Signature Chicken comes mild or spicy, the tenders come classic, spicy or blackened, and the chicken sandwich that set off the fast food sandwich wars is still the headliner. Sides are where the Louisiana roots show most, with red beans and rice, Cajun fries and mashed potatoes in Cajun gravy next to the flaky buttermilk biscuits.
Fall 2026 brought a $5 Honey Chicken Biscuit and a bacon-and-cheese version of it, along with wings, wraps and Honey BBQ sandwiches added earlier in the year. Prices here are typical national pickup prices recorded in late October 2026; California and the Northwest usually run higher, and Hawaii and Alaska higher still. Breakfast exists, but only a small share of restaurants serve it.
