Popeyes has some exciting new menu items that will surely please fast food fans in the UK. With the increasing number of popular US chains launching here, Brits are spoiled for choice. Just recently, Dave's Hot Chicken announced its plans to open 60 locations in the UK starting in 2025, and Carl's Jr also revealed its plans to enter the market.
However, one chain that has already gained popularity among Brits is Popeyes, a Louisiana-style chicken restaurant that caused a frenzy in 2019 with its famous Chicken Sandwich. The burger was so well-received that just two weeks after its launch, it sold out across the US. Since then, it has been available in the UK since the chain's first restaurant opened in 2021, with a few different variations including a spicy version, Buffalo Ranch option, and a BBQ one that became a fan-favorite when it was released in 2023.
The Louisiana BBQ Chicken Sandwich was only available for a limited time, but it was a huge success, selling almost 10,000 sandwiches in its first week. For those who missed out, there is good news as the cult menu item is making a comeback on July 16 for a limited time, priced at £6.99. This version of the sandwich features a "sweet and smoky" twist, made with a Shatter Crunch fried chicken breast, BBQ sauce, smoked cheese, pickles, mayo, and more BBQ sauce, all packed inside a brioche bun.
Fans of the BBQ flavor can also try the Louisiana BBQ Saucin' Wings, starting at £5.75. These wings are drizzled with a house-developed sauce that has a "slight Southern twang" to it. Dave Hoskins, head of food at Popeyes, expressed his excitement about bringing back the Louisiana BBQ flavor, stating that it has consistently ranked in their top five best-selling sauces and has become a must-have for many customers.
And that's not all, as Popeyes has also launched a new box meal deal, providing more food for less money. With four different options available, starting at £9.99, customers can choose from a Chicken Sandwich Box Meal, Deluxe Chicken Sandwich Box Meal, Signature Louisiana Chicken Box Meal, or Louisiana BBQ Sandwich Box Meal. Each box meal comes with a regular drink and fries, and customers can also choose to swap out the fries for Cajun Fries for an additional £1.
In other fast food news, Taco Bell has made some changes to their menu in the UK, including a limited-edition burrito for the summer. The Chipotle Grilled Chicken Burrito features grilled chicken, crushed nacho chips, guacamole, Cali ranch sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a three-cheese blend, and creamy Chipotle sauce, all wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla. Customers can also try the new Veggie Deluxe Box, which includes their popular vegetarian option, the 7-Layer Burrito, along with other tasty items like the Cheesy Black Bean Craving Burrito, churros, and a drink. These new additions provide a refreshing and flavorful option for customers to enjoy.
