To continue celebrating its whopping 50th anniversary, Popeyes plans on doing more deals throughout the month of June.
“The Popeyes brand’s Louisiana roots and bold Cajun flavors have allowed the brand to stand apart, while staying true to values and recipes have allowed their iconic products to stand the test of time,” shared Popeyes to Thrillist.
“This includes culinary traditions like hand battering, hand breading, and 12-hour marination all to create that one of a kind crunch found on their flagship chicken. This commitment to quality chicken takes love,” continued Popeyes.
