Popeyes launches Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich in Canada
Popeyes fans…some big news was announced today.
Last year, the popular chicken chain featured a Blackened Deluxe Chicken Sandwich that was apparently a big hit because it looks like it’s here to stay. This is the first permanent addition to the chicken sandwiches roster since it launched in 2020.
This new, breading-free handheld is made with a whole chicken breast, marinated for 12 hours and seasoned with a blend of Cajun and Creole spices.
That chicken is then placed on a warm, toasted buttery brioche bun and topped with barrel-cured pickles, lettuce, tomato, and classic or spicy mayonnaise.
The Popeyes Culinary Team spent years perfecting this version of the classic blackening cooking technique. The brand says this originated in Louisiana and is “used to better seal in seasoning and spices to flavour the meat.”
