Popeyes rolls out six new signature sauces for Handcrafted Tenders

August 27, 2012

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a division of AFC Enterprises Inc., today launched six Signature Sauces — Bayou Buffalo, Barbeque, Sweet Heat, Mardi Gras Mustard, Buttermilk Ranch, and Blackened Ranch — to complement its Handcrafted Tenders.

To promote the new sauce line up, starting today, guests can enjoy three Handcrafted Tenders, Cajun fries, a biscuit and a choice of one of six signature dipping sauces for $3.99.

Additionally, throughout the month of September, guests can also receive three free Handcrafted Tenders with the purchase of an 8-piece box or bundle or larger at regular menu price.

Popeyes' Handcrafted Tenders are 100-percent breast meat, marinated in Louisiana seasonings, hand battered and breaded, then cooked up fresh.

"Many chicken tenders are formed and pressed in a factory and then thrown straight from the freezer into the fryer at the restaurant. At Popeyes, we refuse to take these kinds of shortcuts," said Dick Lynch, chief global brand officer at Popeyes. "We are thrilled to show our guests how chicken tenders should taste and prove to them that our signature Louisiana twist will keep them coming back for more."

Also, through Sept. 30, any guest who orders a combo meal will receive a limited-time-only Dr Pepper Savings Tag. In September, when guests return to order a combo meal with a drink, and show their savings tag, they have the choice to upsize their drink size for free. Each tag has a unique code for guests to enter at Popeyes.com/DrPepper any time between now and Sept. 30 for a chance to win additional food prizes.
