well here we go with an upgraded version of some naked chicken over here at Popeyes well
scratch that blackened chicken that's right guys you saw the title to this
one the blackened chicken is back on the menu over here at Popeyes for a limited time only
and now you can add bacon and cheese to it so stay tuned because I've got the classic
version up for you next year on the channel I'm Ian K and you're about to peep this out
welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K stay frosty
yes sir I think I'm in for one tasty situation with this one today Feast your eyes on it here
we go with the classic blackened bacon and cheese chicken sandwich here at Popeyes a very
lovely situation in the presentation Department let me break this one on down for you real fast
well starting off with this nicely toasted yet soft brioche style bun let's pop it and take a
look underneath and you're gonna see there is no shortage of mayo guys and as we pan on down
take a look at that action right there we've got a nice bit of bacon on this particular one and
of course a slice of havarti cheese a very lovely situation there and that's all sitting upon with
our billing as a juicy chicken filet that's actually marinated in blackened seasoning and
then fried to a crispy golden brown or I should say a crispy golden black because it looks like
a very nice dark color on this one very lovely there because it's obviously different from their
regular Fried Chicken a very nice presentation on it on the bottom again it looks like no shortage
of mayo but to go along with it we've got some crunchy pickles of course you got to have the
pickles on the chicken sandwiches here at Popeye's so definitely a lovely situation in that regard
but guys coming back to the main stars of the show aside from the chicken itself the havarti cheese
and the bacon should add a nice little duality of flavor to what's already looking like a pretty tasty
looking chicken sandwich so let's not waste any more time on this one this is the all-new classic
blackened bacon and cheese chicken sandwich here at Popeyes let's peep out this flavor
well it's a mouthful of a title in this one and thankfully the chicken is looking like a mouthful
all on its own guys a very lovely situation and without all the breading that Popeyes is known for
with their Fried Chicken naturally this is still looking like it's got a lot of girth to it and
that's definitely a bonus right there and on the real I gotta say having checked this one out when
it was in test Market I want to say a couple of years ago you're probably going to see the reviews
jumping up on your screen here right now that was a classic variant and a spicy variant before I
went Nationwide that was testing in my area let's just say I'm glad to be back in the saddle to
check out the official Nationwide version of the sandwich now with the havarti cheese and
the bacon action to go with so guys let's get into this right now let's give you one last look
before I bite into this and of course you'll see it all throughout the review this is the all new
classic variant of the blackened bacon and cheese chicken sandwich or Popeyes let's peep this out
mmm oh oh hold on right off the break I got a nice little bit of that havarti cheese which is
kind of a milder type of Monterey Jack situation on top of the juiciness of the chicken but guys
I love the situation right there along with a little bit of the pickle on the very bottom no
real bacon to speak up just yet but I'm about to remedy that right now let's go for another bite
mmm there it is
yes sir the Smoky crispiness of that bacon on top of the creaminess of that havarti cheese is
a nice little upgrade to what's already a very tasty situation and the marinated seasonings
of that blackened chicken are really standing out it is fairly juicy as you can see and that
white meat is on point plenty of mayo on this even though that's not my favorite but guys
the crunch of the pickles a lovely situation on this yeah this is already getting me excited to
check out the other variations of the chicken sandwich over here at Popeyes with this all new
bacon and cheese naturally you're going to see them here on the channel over the next couple
of weeks so stay tuned for that but guys a lovely situation with the amount of goodness on this one
and the cheese is just mild enough to let you know that it's kind of there which is kind of
nice it's creamy it's got a very nice flavor to it again kind of like a milder monterey jack but
when you add that with the smokiness the bacon and the crispiness of the chicken believe it
or not even without that coating the marinated goodness is pretty banging let's keep going in
mmm it's pretty Hearty well admittedly that last bite was a little on the drier side but again
I think that's one of the reasons this thing is doused and Mayo to add the moisture to it
there but overall the seasoning is pretty amazing on the skies and when you combine
that with everything else here along with that soft brioche style bun on top of it a very nice
situation so this tastes just like I remember from when I checked it out in the test Market
Days A couple of years ago but naturally with the addition of cheese and bacon a
lovely situation of course guys that adds a beautiful situation to any sandwich it's nice
to see it's over here at Popeye's officially Nationwide pretty banging alright so let's
go for one more quick bite in this one we'll wrap the review with the rating coming up next
but guys like I said the combination of cheese and bacon you really can't go wrong with that
but when it's on top of a nice blackened piece of chicken and they do it pretty well over here
at Popeyes naturally a lovely situation let's go for one more bite and we'll wrap this one up hang on
so a very nice option when it comes to the chicken over here at Popeyes but considering
when you do come to Popeyes of course you want that fried goodness this is actually a nice little
variation of that but without all the breading and when you combine that with the cheese and
the bacon in nice situation a little bit of a lighter alternative aside from all the toppings
on this one but still a banging situation nonetheless definitely worth checking out
yeah definitely a nice situation checking out the return of the blackened chicken over
here at Popeyes my first time having it since my last test market reviews but I gotta say based
upon the rating that you're gonna see on the screen here right now it's going to be docked
just a little bit because of the price point at a regular price point of $5.49 in my area when you
add the cheese and the bacon it jumps to $7.29 so it's definitely a premium over the regular price
but at the same time all the flavor is pretty amazing on it I think that's just a little much
to ask from a sandwich especially considering the price point being $3.99 from back in the day guys
this is Popeyes they pretty much popularized that they're in the chicken sandwich Wars when
they first began why are we seeing a price point of over seven dollars even with bacon and cheese
it's a little up there as far as I'm concerned but still pretty tasty alright so do me a quick
favor like always drop those comments down below let me know if you agree with my assessment of
this version of the blackened chicken and cheese chicken sandwich here at Popeyes and how excited
are you to try the spicy variation of it because I'm definitely down to give it a go very very soon
