Chicken sandwich

The Popeyes chicken sandwich is one of the most popular Popeyes menu items, and it works as a quick solo lunch or alongside family bundles when you’re feeding a crowd.

Chicken sandwiches start with white-meat chicken marinated and hand-battered in a buttermilk system, then fried and served on a butter-enriched brioche bun with pickles. Classic, Spicy, Honey BBQ, and Bacon & Cheese versions build on that base.

Sandwiches are available solo or as combos with regular or large sides and a drink.

The sandwich lineup includes:

• Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich
• Chicken Sandwich
• Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich

How to order & customize

A few smart choices make a big difference. Pick your heat level, your cut of chicken, and the right bundle size. If you want all-white-meat pieces without bones, the Popeyes chicken tenders are the easier pick, and the Popeyes dipping sauces let you customize every bite.
