9Pc Signature Chicken
This meal includes:
- 9 Pc Signature Chicken (Classic or Spicy)

Nine pieces of that famous bone-in chicken at a flat promotional price. It's an entrée-only box, so pair it with a couple of large sides and biscuits to feed the family.
9Pc Signature Chicken Family Meal
This meal includes:
- 9 Pc Signature Chicken
- 1 Large Side of your choice
- 4 Buttermilk Biscuits
The same nine pieces built into a full family meal with a large side and four biscuits — the better value if you want a complete dinner rather than chicken alone.

Tangy, crunchy fried pickles make a perfect snack or shareable starter. They also headline the seasonal Pickle menu when it runs.
Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Cup
This meal includes:
- Creamy cheesecake with blueberry-lemon swirl and a graham-cracker crust
The newest sweet drop — a bright blueberry-lemon cheesecake cup that's a lighter, fruitier alternative to the classic cinnamon apple pie.
Why Does Popeyes Run Limited-Time Items?
Limited-time offers keep the menu feeling fresh and give Popeyes a low-risk way to test new flavors before committing to a permanent spot. They also create urgency — when fans know a favorite could vanish, they show up. That's exactly why the chicken sandwich, Ghost Pepper builds and the Pickle menu all started life as limited runs.
Popular Limited-Time Items From the Past
Popeyes has a strong track record of hit LTOs. Recent favorites that have come and gone (and often come back) include the Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich, the tangy Pickle menu, the value-driven Munchies menu, seasonal butterfly shrimp and flounder, and the shareable Big Box. Keep an eye out — the best ones tend to return.
