If you haven’t realized it yet, today is April Fools’ Day — a time when bizarre news stories flood the internet, most of them pure fiction. But what I’m about to tell you is 100% real, and it involves Popeyes’ latest release.
Popeyes goes full pickles for latest menu launch
Available now at Popeyes locations nationwide is a full-fledged menu dedicated to pickles. Yes, you read that correctly — pickles. Below is a list of all the items that will be a part of this limited-time menu that can be ordered from the Popeyes website or app according to the fast food chain:
- Pickle Glazed Sandwich- Crispy, hand-battered chicken, in a zesty flavored pickle glaze, topped with thick-cut pickles, and served on a brioche bun.
- Pickle Glaze Bone-In Wings- Crispy bone-in wings tossed in a bold tangy pickle-flavored glaze.
- Pickle Glaze Boneless Wings- Hand-battered boneless wings drenched in a mouthwatering pickle-flavored glaze.
- Fried Pickles- Crispy, golden-brown fried pickles that are battered in Popeyes' signature seasoning.
- Pickle Lemonade- A savory-yet-sweet leomonade that is infused with real pickle juice.
Also, in celebration of the release, Popeyes "pickled" their entire flagship restaurant in Times Square, turning it green from top to bottom. They also included an ASMR booth that is designed to capture the signature crunch of Popeyes.
If there's one thing about the chicken spot, they are not afraid to step out and do something different. And with pickles becoming an increasingly more popular food item to build menus off of, why not roll something out like this for a limited time?
Although we didn't see a Popeyes x Don Julio release in markets nationwide, I am interested to see what the fast food chain does with this one. I am by no means a pickles fan, but there is a possibility I could find this to be dill-licious.
