Quick-service brand offers six flavors from existing platform
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is adding boneless chicken wings to its menu permanently, the company said today.
The Miami-based division of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International said the wings would be offered in six flavors: classic, honey-barbecue, honey-lemon pepper, Signature Hot, sweet and spicy and roasted garlic-parmesan.
“Our new boneless wings are a game changer,” said Jeff Klein, president of Popeyes North America, in a statement. “Our culinary team brought the best flavors from our existing wing platform to this new boneless offering to give our guests the best of both worlds.”
Klein said the company will be giving away six-piece boneless wings with any $10 purchase on the smartphone app or through the website through July 14.
Popeyes has teamed with the actor-comedian-writer-producer Jimmy O. Yang, known for roles in “Love Hard”, “Silicon Valley,” “Crazy Rich Asians,” and “Space Force.” Yang once wrote about his disdain for boneless wings, but he has changed his opinion, the company said.
“I never thought I’d say this, but I’m officially a boneless believer,” Yang said in a statement. “Popeyes has made a boneless wing so good that I’m eating my words.”
The new boneless wings are at participating U.S. restaurants nationwide.
Popeyes, founded in 1972, has more than 4,000 restaurants worldwide.
