man how you not gonna have no popeye's chicken no potato salad no candy popeyes is an industry
titan because it's taken steps to set itself apart with that here's 10 foods you need to
try from popeye's louisiana kitchen excuse me do you know if there's a popeye's chicken around here
fried gizzards schmuck through the old gizzard stop we know what you're thinking just give them
a chance the groans of displeasure have been noted it's true that fried gizzards don't always invoke
the most pleasant images in the consumer's mind but some culinary activists will say that these
tasty morsels of dark meat are a true test of a chef's medal popeye's deep-fried neck meat treats
may not sound like the most appetizing of menu items but some customers return to select stores
just to sample and snack on these deep fried treats they're hard to perfect and incredibly easy
to ruin when preparing and that's why they've made the list if a fast food restaurant can perfect an
option that sends a most people running for the hills it might be worth investigating if you're
worried about the quality of this meat worry not popeyes holds the fried gizzards to the standard
of all the rest of their menu items oh right well that is good to know although they're only
available in certain locations these fan favorites are a wild card option that you definitely need to
try next time you roll up to the drive-through window unless you're chicken cajun fries look
what i found french rice we know we know fries are a dime a dozen there has been so much debate
about which fast food franchise has the best fries well with more than a little support from their
customers popeyes would like to formally ask for a seat at the table they've chosen to offer up
their own culinary creation in the form of their proprietary cajun fries which are dusted in their
famous seasoning what may start is a simple french fry gets its true inspiration when seasoned with
popeye's secret touch it lends these crispy delights just enough kick to let you know what
you're snacking on but not enough to dissuade you from enjoying an entire order of their cajun fries
while some fast food diners will claim that in the south if you want french fries you should
be dining at rallies popeyes just isn't satisfied with this cop out of an answer and would instead
ask that you give their unique spin on this fast food staple a try not only do they work hard to
deliver a french fry that stands on its own but when paired with the seasoning you have a match
made in heaven the menu item starts with a working class hero of the fast food industry the russet
potato perfect for fries due to the fact that they don't retain much moisture in the cooking process
and tend to hold up well when put through the deep fryer many fast foodies have gone through
considerable effort to unmask the secret blend of spices that goes into the innovative cajun
seasoning coating the fries but no one has a definitive answer or the proof to back up their
assertations instead only a basic framework of the recipe stands out can anyone guess the secret
ingredient this includes pepper cayenne oregano salt chili powder onion powder garlic powder
and a few other ingredients that popeye's isn't letting slip instead of trying to reverse engineer
the concoction like a mad scientist just make your way down to the nearest popeyes and try
their fries out for yourself we promise you won't be disappointed as we keep moving on
take a second to hit that like button would ya thank you next oh boy well howdy there parker
it wouldn't be a southern inspired restaurant without this absolutely standard menu item the
po boy is a sandwich that has been filling bellies for as long as the fried food and
bread combo has existed in culinary tradition popeyes serves their rendition of the po boy on
a toasted sub bun slathered in mayonnaise with no shortage of tangy pickles and crispy lettuce
a few different variations of the sandwich exist on their menu be it seafood or fried chicken the
seafood version is served with fried shrimp their crispy popcorn shrimp makes every bite a textural
adventure that's sure to please seafood lovers our money however goes on the fried chicken po boy
it starts exactly the same as all po boys that have come before it toasted bun mayo lettuce
pickles and finally add popeye's unique chicken tenders this is a perfect example of a recipe
becoming greater than the sum of its parts a sandwich that you won't soon forget popeye's
po boy deserves a seat at the table of culinary delight just keep an eye on the shrimp and chicken
that tends to fall out of the bun we'd hate for you to miss out on the full sandwich experience
boneless wings we are the chicken wing boys any fast food chicken fanatic worth their
salt will claim that when it comes to the debate of boneless or bone-in wings you absolutely have
to go with the bone in i mean come on people the bones are where all the flavor is stored besides
bone-in wings tend to be fresher and taste less processed due to the fewer steps that go into
their production however popeye's is turning the culinary world on its head by offering customers
a boneless wing that can stand up to even the pickiest wing enthusiasts don't call it a chicken
nugget because these heavily breaded morsels are something entirely their own they were originally
a limited time offering only at select restaurants but after people began complaining when they were
taken off the menu popeyes decided to bring them out of retirement more than a handful of times
to satisfy pallets looking for a unique boneless wing experience pair this chicken with any number
of popeye's signature dipping sauces and you have something truly special delicious don't
worry we won't tell all the bone-in fanatics that you've been dining on them tenders

an option that you can get behind popcorn shrimp i'll swing by for a minute allow them to envy me
grab a handful of popcorn shrimp and blow out of there blasphemy seafood from a chicken joint why

has remained a staple on popeye's menu for a reason generally speaking popeyes
handles seafood very well we're looking at you butterfly shrimp why can't you be a year-round
menu item this fact also rings true with their many seafood sandwich options these
crispy crowns of golden breaded shrimp have a crunchiness and a snap to them enough to please
any seafood lover with just a hint of spice and all the cocktail sauce you can ask for the popcorn
shrimp are a true hit if you're ever feeling less than ensues about another foray into fried chicken

all this without mentioning the o.g did you yes it's true popeyes was made famous from their
original chicken recipe and after a bite of their proprietary product you'll see exactly
what all the fuss is about oh my god delicious the simple blend of spices mixed with popeye's
unique batter is something that you truly have to experience to understand wings breasts and
drumstick lovers can all rejoice under the same banner because the original recipe incorporates
all your favorite pieces of the chicken each piece is marinated for no less than 12 hours before it's
coated in the batter that you know and love and then submerged an oil to golden perfection what
ensues is a perfect piece of chicken that somehow remains crunchy and juicy at the same time it's
easy to pass off fast food chicken as being a less than ideal which is why popeyes frequently changes
and checks their suppliers to make sure that only the finest chicken goes into the revolutionary
final product can't decide what to get when you step up to the cashier it's hard to go wrong
with the menu item that inspired the phrase love that chicken red beans and rice hey homer settle
a bet red beans and rice or red beans on rice a staple in southern cooking red beans and rice can
sometimes be well bland that's not the case at popeye's louisiana kitchen however this simple
menu option is a go-to side when picking up your chicken entree of choice while it may be tempting
to simply go with a side of fries popeyes will ask you to give this down-home classic a try if you're
looking for a more calorie conscious option or you just want a break from the deep fried monotony
of regular fast food sides you can find sweet solace and the smoky and earthy flavor of their
red beans and rice give this one a try next time you want a little variation from your classic fast
food meal i will i'll try okay i'll try it's a side that southerners everywhere can be proud of
biscuits and by the way these biscuits are amazing these next items may cause some culinary purists
to roll their eyes biscuits from a fast food restaurant to some this may seem like sacrilege
typically what consumers are often greeted with are whole meal slabs as
hard as hockey pucks that's not the case with popeye's biscuits however they've taken extra
special care to provide their customers with a product that would make even your granny happy
what started as a side has quickly become one of the major reasons people choose to eat at
popeye's louisiana kitchen these flaky hearty and buttery biscuits made only with the finest
buttermilk keep people coming back time and time again not only do these biscuits demolish the
competition found at other fast food restaurants but they've even inspired a myriad of copycat
recipes from every home chef who's ever had the pleasure of chowing down on one popeyes knows
that a chicken dinner just wouldn't be complete without the appearance of this southern favorite
so they took great care in crafting their own version of the southern staple instead of trying
to recreate the item at home and just swing by your local popeyes to experience the blissful
treat that is their biscuits remember to keep the butter and honey on hand popeyes chicken sandwich
regular chicken sandwich this is it folks it's the sandwich that set the internet on fire not only
did this dark horse item come out of the woodwork like a hungry heavyweight vying for the title but
it also made thousands of fried chicken purists question their loyalty to chick-fil-a when this
sandwich was first released there were literal riots involving people who simply could not get
enough wow that good huh allegedly one patron lost their life daring to cut in line as people
waited for the legendary sandwich dare we say that if this is the response from a menu item release
you must be doing something right it's true that popeyes had an increasingly difficult time meeting
the demand for the sandwich as many locations were forced to put out impromptu signs declaring no
chicken sandwiches it said that popeyes sold out twice as fast as expected leaving many customers
out in the cold as they clamoured over one another simply trying to get their hands on one spicy or
original recipe is the only real question that matters when you're digging into one of these
amazing sandwiches the sandwich is constructed with the buttermilk batter that we all know and
love and nestled between a pillowy brioche bun is it possible to reach enlightenment with a chicken
sandwich popeyes is certainly trying to answer that question throw on some mayonnaise and just
the right amount of pickles for the briny hint and you have the popeye's chicken sandwich the
ensuing social media craze did wonders for the brand and customers continued to wait
months just to get a chance to sample one it was so popular in fact that popeyes decided
to make it a regular menu item almost with no hesitation if something isn't broken you simply do
not fix it indeed indeed we're serving up more great videos just tap or click hit that
