Oct. 31, 2019
If you didn’t get to try Popeyes’ popular chicken sandwich when it was introduced this summer and then disappeared from the menu because demand outstripped supply, you’ll have another chance starting Sunday. The $3.99 sandwich features a buttermilk-battered fillet that’s deep fried, barrel-cured pickles and regular or spicy mayo on a brioche bun.
