Popeye  Chicken Sandwich Recipes

Get your copycat recipe game on and try your hand at this DIY popeyes chicken sandwich.  This dish starts with perfectly marinated, juicy chicken breasts that are then battered and fried to a golden brown.

Why Is Popeyes Chicken Sandwich So Popular?

It may not have gotten as popular as it did without the rivalry it posed with its release.  Chick-fil-a was and is known for its crispy chicken sandwich.  However, Popeyes came along and released this banger of a sandwich and everyone swooned.

Tips For the Perfect Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

– Use other buns – You don’t have to use the brioche buns if you don’t prefer it. Any bun will do the trick, although it won’t perfectly match the original Popeyes sandwich. – Add more condiments or toppings. I like adding tomato, lettuce, and BBQ sauce sometimes. Whatever you’re feeling, although it might not match the exact version of the sandwich.
