Popeyes Wicked Chicken is wickedly good, thin strips of tender, juicy, all white meat chicken marinated with authentic Louisiana seasonings, hand-battered and breaded in the restaurants, served up crispy, twisty and curly!

“Our guests loved the portability and flavor of Wicked Chicken last year. Its Cajun kick really complements our signature sides and satisfies the craving for a quick snack full of flavor,” said Amy Alarcon, director of culinary innovation. “The heat of the Wicked Chicken matches perfectly with the bold, sweet flavors of Popeyes Cane Sweet Iced Tea—a blend of black and orange pekoe tea, sweetened with Pure Cane Sugar.”
