Popeyes is often credited with kicking off the fast food chicken sandwich wars and now the chain is building on its own success with a spicy new Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich.
Available exclusively from Popeyes Canada locations, the new Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich puts a spicy twist on the brand's classic chicken sandwich. The new offering starts with a tender all-white meat chicken breast fillet, which has been marinated in a blend of authentic Louisiana seasonings, hand-battered, and then breaded in a buttermilk coating. The chicken is then paired with pickle slices and a fiery ghost pepper-infused mayo on a toasted brioche bun.
The new Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich is available now from participating Popeyes locations in Canada for a limited time.
