This is super important. Only downside is it's a limited-time offer, through the 26th apparently according to the first link. Bless you anyway Popeyes. Bless you.

I swear the Popeye's in my area is using the batter meant for the Chicken Waffle Tenders for their normal chicken items. They were noticeably sweeter and more crumbly.

 

[Team Filler]

Had some on Tuesday, they continue to be godlike. Service at my local Popeye's was on point too, gave me extra cups of honey-maple sauce.

I would be okay with this.

I'm not a fan of the sauce so much, but the tenders are so damn good. It's been too long, definitely need to go soon.

Had some on Monday. Still great. I don't like the Honey Maple sauce they come with, though.

It wasn't so much the sauce itself, but the fact that I didn't even ask and they were all, "here have some extra just in case!".

I would never expect that level of service in a KFC (were I to ever set foot in one).

 

[Takuan]

Good, but they don't give enough strips. I'll take a 4-piece chicken meal over this all day.

Yeah that's true. Sometimes I've seen them charge after the first couple sauce cups, which is lame.

THIS IS HAPPENING

 

[Mawile]

How are these tenders compared to Cane's?

IN. Those tenders were *incredible*.

 

[dopplr]

Those look really good. One thing that always brings me to Popeyes are their fries,

 

[Apdiddy]

I gotta about 30 minutes to go to the nearest Popeye's but that's a great way to spend a weekend.

Although the last time I had them I went into a food coma while in the restaurant. So good.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Oh, as a big fan of the Chicken Waffle Tenders the first time around, I was definitely okay with it! I didn't know they were coming back, so when I tasted the chicken, I was immediately surprised that it reminded me of the Chicken Waffle Tenders. So seeing your thread confirmed my suspicions.

How are these tenders compared to Cane's?

I'm a huge fan of Cane's chicken, but I like these just as much. It's a going for a different, sweeter taste, though. The Maple sauce took me a while to get used to, but it grew on me.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Doing this tomorrow after work even though I'm almost broke. Can't let this one pass me up. (Same with their kickin chicken and the crawfish basket.)

 

[Omadahl]

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

Can you get a meal with five strips or something? I remember I had these before and liked them but found that just the three strips wasn't enough for me.

 

[surrealist]

I had these the last time around. As a connoisseur of Popeye's, I wasn't impressed, but to each his own.

Yeah, I had no clue either. Was watching a basketball game and saw a commercial for it and was completely blindsided. Had to check if there was a thread, there wasn't, and here we are

Cheaper for one. Cane dipping sauce is unmatched however (except for Zaxby's sauce on the east coast)

 

[Raw64life]

The last time I had Popeye's was the last time they had these available, which was at least a couple of years ago. Had these yesterday and they're just as good as I remember.

 

[chronos4590]

I was just thinking about these last week. God is real

 

[painey]

these are the worst thing I have ever eaten at a fried chicken restaurant. truly gross.

 

[kris.]

popeyes is kinda out of my way now but yea i'm making a trip soon for this shit.

 

[Goldboy]

Had Popeyes for the first time a couple months ago, have been going there weekly ever since. Super excited to try these.

 

[Niraj]

Made a trip today for these. Worth it. They were a bit more crunchy than I remembered which was nice.

 

[Wood Man]

I love Popeyes.

I make a secret trip there once a month.

 

[120v]

on paper it sounds like the most amazing thing ever but i found them to be pretty underwhelming. per popeyes standards

location was kinda sketch though. wouldn't be surprised if they did the batter wrong or something

 

[Milennia]

Had these yesterday, outstanding

 

[daffy]

I ate some yesterday. Meh. The sauce was underwhelming and the tenders looked cutting room floor. Will stick to raising cane

 

[Animekatt]

I had them the day they started (Feb 6), and 2 days ago. So gooooood.

 

[Goro Majima]

Just ordered the five piece combo and these things are too rich. They forgot to give me the sauce but I don't think I could have stomached them.

Should have stuck with spicy

 

[New002]

Omg how did I almost miss this. Been waiting for these to come back since 2014 lol. Got an order in front of me now!
