It’s the sandwich that took America by storm when it was launched in 2019. Popeyes USA sold out its entire stock of Chicken Sandwiches within two weeks of its release in August last year. Americans spent as many as four hours in line just to get their hands on this burger, and things even turned ugly for one man who jumped the queue.
This September, this famed burger makes its way to Singapore for a limited time. From 16 September to 14 October 2020, it will grace the menus of Popeyes Singapore with its presence, and we can see for ourselves what the fuss was all about.
The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich drove Americans wild. Here’s what goes into it.
It’s a chicken thigh that’s marinated for at least 12 hours before it’s battered in buttermilk, breaded by hand and fried to perfection. This recipe took a reported two years to fine-tune, with a whole new buttermilk batter recipe and the use of a special flour for that fine crunchy texture.
If that wasn’t enough, that crispy chicken thigh is slathered with a secret spicy sauce and layered with pickles, then sandwiched between toasted brioche buns.
