Hallelujah.

The goat chicken sandwich is officially coming back for good. Popeye's is solid this time around:

quote:

"We plan to offer it to our guests for a long time," Bruno Cardinali, head of marketing for North America at Popeyes, told CNN Business in an email. "We are confident that we'll be able to meet the demand."

quote:

Cardinali noted that Popeyes has stabilized its supply chain for the sandwich, a buttermilk battered and breaded white meat filet, topped with pickles and a choice of mayo or a spicy Cajun spread and served on a toasted brioche bun. Popeyes has also been hiring more employees to prepare for the relaunch.


Praise Jesus. Finally something more delicious and tasty than the bland meh CFA I've had to put up with the past three months.

CNN: Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich is appropriation of African American culture.

Probably the one establishment where more employees would be a bad thing for the customer.

Popeyes sandwich just had such great texture. I still like the flavor of CFA’s spicy better, though. However, if Popeye’s can figure out how to do a real spicy flavored chicken rather than just a spicy mayo sauce, it’s game over in the chicken wars.

There is a location in Memphis that still has it. My buddy sent me a pic of it last week and the guy told him that it would be back by Thanksgiving everywhere as a permanent item

Thank god. I fricked myself the first time around by waiting for the crowds to die down. I wondered if I'd ever taste one.

WTF CNN and Popeyes?

Just hit up the two Popeyes in Kissimmee and neither had the damn spicy chicken sandwich.

I thought it was supposed to be back?

When's the ETA on it "officially coming back?"

I was so excited when I heard the news this morning. Now this.

It's like waking up Christmas morning and learning Santa died before he made it to your house.

Confirmed. Praise the Lord. I cannot wait for Sunday.

Fox News reports:
quote:

Have you heard the word? Popeyes' highly anticipated (and ridiculed and sexy) chicken sandwich, which sold out just two weeks after its debut, is officially returning to stores in early November.

November 3 to be exact.

Popeyes' press release confirming the news was as simple as the chicken sandwich itself, and contained only two words: “I’m Back.”

Franchise owners had tipped their hand about the sandwich’s comeback last week, but the fast-food chain only confirmed the nationwide return in the Monday press release. Popeyes also debuted an advertisement for the sandwich's return that takes aim at its now-competitor Chick-fil-A, and the unavailability of their chicken sandwiches on Sundays.

A popeyes worker told me they have always had the chicken sandwich, but just started advertising it recently is why it became so popular.
