Popeyes: The iconic chicken wing franchise has a permanent addition to the menu

While the Super Bowl is months away, you won't have to wait as long for some huge chicken wing news this holiday season. Popeyes is coming through with big news deciding to make its signature flavored Wings a go-to all year round.

Popeyes and flavored Wings are here for the win-win

It’s more than just a limited time run for Popeyes. The franchise has five delicious flavors for you to geek out over including its Ghost Pepper and Sweet ‘N Spicy line-up.

With 51 years of expertise and the industry benchmark Chicken Sandwich under its belt, Popeyes announces the permanent introduction of Wings to menus nationwide, marking the culmination of three years of dedicated culinary development. 

Building on the success of the Sweet N’ Spicy Wings, Popeyes highest performing product since the Chicken Sandwich, Popeyes is aiming to be a top player in the wings category.

Starting Wednesday, November 22nd, chicken wing enthusiasts across the nation can savor five signature flavors with varying degrees of kick- Garlic Parmesan, Honey BBQ, Ghost Pepper, Sweet N’ Spicy, and Signature Hot - each one a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation, flavor, and its Louisiana roots. 

Each exciting flavor features hand-battered and breaded crispy chicken wings, which are juicy on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. Guests can get their wings fix in five spicy flavors, including three new recipes making their debut for the first time on a Popeyes menu: 

  • NEW! Honey BBQ Wings: The tangy tamarind, sweet honey and smoky molasses flavors on this sauce pair perfectly with that signature Popeyes crispy breading, so that each and every bite brings you all the way down south. 

  • NEW! Roasted Garlic Parmesan: These wings pair the rich flavors of caramelized garlic and parmesan and asiago cheeses with our crispy Popeyes breading. So, take a buttery bite and bask in all the flavor. 

  • NEW! Signature Hot: We wouldn’t be from Louisiana if we didn’t have a Cajun hot wing. Tossed in our signature Cajun hot sauce with just a touch of southern sweetness, this flavor is for those who love the heat. 

  • Ghost Pepper Wings: Marinated in a dry spice blend before they’re hand breaded and fried to a perfect crunch, these wings are the perfect balance of flavor and fire. 

  • Sweet ‘N Spicy Wings: Before they’re tossed in a sweet and spicy blend of chili, garlic, and ginger, these crispy wings are marinated, hand-breaded, and fried up just right. And yup, sweet ‘n spicy is still the perfect pair. 

On November 22nd,  guests can get Popeyes new Wings Platform at participating locations nationwide, at http://Popeyes.com, and through the Popeyes App.

In a new campaign featured here, Popeyes invites guests to rethink their chicken wing choices with the launch of Popeyes DISScount codes, which can be entered on the Popeyes app or at Popeyes.com to redeem. With cheeky prompts like STOPWINGS, NOTTHATWILD, OPENSUNDAY and ONLY1WINGFLVR, these digital codes will unlock a free 6pc order Wings with a $10 minimum purchase (terms apply) starting on November 27th. And, as a nudge in the “right direction,” Popeyes is strategically placing billboards near competitor restaurants, prompting consumers to reconsider their current wing choices and upgrade to Popeyes.
