There’s a new player in the ongoing fast-food chicken sandwich wars, and this time, it helms from the chain that started the battle all the way back in 2019. This summer, Popeyes is adding a much-asked-for and long-awaited item to its menu that is sure to be a major move in the battle: chicken nuggets.
Set to officially appear on the menu on Tuesday, July 27, the chain’s chicken nuggets “show the world once again the magic of Popeyes chicken,” Popeyes president Sami Siddiqui said in a press release. The nuggets, which are breaded in the same breading as the chain’s crispy chicken tenders and fried chicken, are described as “crunchy, juicy delicious chicken” that “will have guests question how they ever enjoyed chicken nuggets before this.” Comicbook.com reports that similar to the restaurant’s other chicken products, the chicken nuggets will follow the standard 12-hour marination process, meaning they will be packed with plenty of flavor.
