Popeyes has added wings to its permanent menu, according to a press release.

The brand is offering five flavors: Honey BBQ, Roasted Garlic Parmesan, Signature Hot, Ghost Pepper and Sweet 'N Spicy.

"At Popeyes, we like to challenge the status quo and are consistently redefining what's expected from fast food brands," Sami Siddiqui, president of Popeyes North America, said in the press release. "Ghost Pepper Wings were an overnight success, followed by the addition of Sweet 'N Spicy wings, our best performing product since the infamous Chicken Sandwich. We know our guests want even more bold Louisiana-inspired wing flavors to choose from and are excited to see our new wings line-up take flight."

The wings are hand-battered and breaded, just like the brand's signature bone-in chicken.

"This is something my team has been working on for three years, and we took our time to get it right," Amy Alarcon, vice president of culinary innovation at Popeyes, said in the press release. "Ghost Pepper has become a heavy hitter in our arsenal of products, and in marrying that with our Wings we knew we had something special. Now, we've found ways to add flavors on top for a variety of tastes our guests are sure to love. And with our Sweet 'N Spicy Wings recently becoming the highest performing product since the Chicken Sandwich, we are beyond excited to unveil this full lineup."

Popeyes operates more than 4,000 restaurants globally.
