1. Signature Chicken
The signature chicken marks a significant milestone in the history of Popeyes fried chicken menu. People have been praising this signature dish ever since it made it into the menu in 1980.
What’s great about this signature chicken is that Popeyes claims to marinate their chicken for 12 hours. This is quite bold, keeping in mind the fact that this is a fast-food chain and shows their dedication to offering the best quality to their customers.
2. Chicken Sandwich

Who doesn’t like buttermilk batter-fried chicken, cooked to perfection, and placed carefully between two perfectly buttered buns with just the right amount of everything?
This chicken sandwich by Popeyes gives you just that. The chicken breast is quite tender, and seasonings are nicely balanced. It’s perfect for your taste buds and caters to even spicy food lovers, thanks to its spicy variation. You will definitely love this Popeyes chicken sandwich.
3. Handcrafted Chicken Tenders

Popeyes has done a great job by offering chicken options for everyone. If you’re one of those die-hard chicken tenders’ lovers, then you have to try these amazing handcrafted chicken tenders.
The ‘special seasoning’ is perfect with the right amount of heat packed in every bite. You get to choose from different options, including spicy tenders and mild tenders (if you can’t take too much spice).
To make the most out of your meal, we recommend pairing these delicious tenders with buttery biscuits, a side of fries (or coleslaw), and their dipping sauces. Though there are different sauces to choose from, our personal favorite is the buttermilk ranch. Don’t worry about Popeyes menu calories when you order these juicy tenders, they’re light weight and very filling high-protein snack.
4. Boneless Wings

These boneless wings are the perfect amalgamation of tender nuggets and crispy wings. Launched initially as a limited edition item as Popeyes menu special, the boneless wings made waves as the shortness of chicken wings reached its peak in 2017. Since then, it has made its place in Popeyes’ permanent chicken menu.
We love these wings because they have the same amazing juiciness and crispiness that their bigger cousins have, i.e., Signature Chicken and Chicken Tenders. Yet they are bite-sized and perfect for snacking.
Add a buttery biscuit and a signature Popeyes side to complete your meal. Almost all the dipping sauces pair perfectly with these wings, so we can’t choose a favorite here!
Where Does Chicken from Popeyes Come from?
Popeyes is in no way involved in the raising of the chicken they use directly. Instead, they contract with a chicken supplier to supply them healthy chicken. This is very important for Popeyes to make sure that not only its customers are provided with quality, but the chicken they use is also safe in the process. Isn’t that great? Popeyes requires and runs regular checks with their chicken suppliers to ensure they follow the Animal Welfare Guidelines by the National Chicken Council. They also audit their suppliers’ methods to make sure everything is transparent. Kudos to Popeyes for going that extra mile for animal welfare!
How Spicy Is Popeyes Mild Chicken?
Popeyes mild chicken is not at all spicy. Popeyes mild chicken is specially cooked with special seasonings to make sure people who can’t handle spiciness can enjoy their meals too. The seasoning is well balanced and what’s great about Popeyes is that even though you order mild chicken, you still get the same flavor and heat in every bite that you might get in their spicy variation, but of course except the spice factor. We have to give credit to their special seasoning that makes their chicken so perfect.
In addition to that, you can enjoy the mild version in every chicken item from Popeyes, from delicious chicken tenders to amazing boneless wings. The choice is yours.
