Popeyes (QSR) is adding chicken nuggets to its menu, using the same recipe as the hotly-coveted chicken sandwich that s been a runaway hit for the restaurant chain.
The addition of the white meat chicken nuggets, with options ranging from 4 piece to 36 pieces, are set to hit menus beginning July 27 in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
The fast food giant is hopeful this launch will match the reception that greeted its fried chicken sandwich back in August of 2019.
That menu item sparked the now famous chicken sandwich war across the industry, with McDonald s (MCD), Wendy s (WEN), Shake Shack (SHAK), and KFC (YUM) and others all joining the battle. Both Wendy s and McDonald s have also launched their own spicy version of the menu item.
