Popeyes launches new Chicken Wraps: What to know
Popeyes has added a flavorful new category to its menu.
On Monday, the popular fried chicken chain announced the launch of its new Chicken Wraps, which boast the "same legendary Louisiana flavor with a whole new twist."
"Whether you're cruising through errands, road tripping or hopping between meetings, Popeyes is bringing their signature crunch that you crave in a grab-and-go style that's big on flavor and easy on the wallet," the company stated in a June 2 press release.
Described as "generously sized," the wraps are now available to order at participating locations nationwide, as well as through the Popeyes app and website, for a limited time while supplies last.
Priced at $3.99 each, the wraps come in three bold flavor options.
"Each one is packed with a Popeyes hand-breaded and battered chicken tender, crisp lettuce, shredded cheese, crunchy pickles and topped with your choice of a Classic, Spicy or Honey Mustard spread, all tucked into a soft, warm tortilla inspired by our famous biscuits," the company stated.
According to chef Amy Alarcon, VP of culinary innovation at Popeyes, the new wraps are all about portability and signature flavor.
"With our new Chicken Wraps, we've taken our iconic chicken tenders and wrapped them in something completely new, bringing all that craveable crunch in a fresh, portable way," Alarcon said in a statement included with the release. "We wanted to create a Chicken Wrap that was undeniably Popeyes. Infusing the flavors from our famous biscuit into our wraps was the perfect way to ensure our signature flavors shined through."
Popeyes also rolled out a refreshing summer beverage lineup, featuring new Blueberry Lemonade and Teas.
"Building on the hype of Popeyes viral Pickle Lemonade, this new berry-infused offering includes Blueberry Lemonade (Chilled or Frozen), Blueberry Cane Sweet Tea and Blueberry Unsweet Tea," the company said in its press release Monday.
The announcement comes as McDonald's prepares to bring back its fan-favorite Snack Wrap this summer.
The returning item -- featuring a chicken strip, shredded lettuce, cheese, and sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla -- is set to become a permanent menu offering at McDonald's restaurants nationwide starting July 10, the chain confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday.
"From countless social media posts to full-fledged petitions, they never gave up on their favorite menu item," McDonald's said in a statement, referring to fans of the Snack Wrap. "They're the ones who inspired us to make its return to the menu happen."
