Popeyes Nuggets Menu

Bite-sized, all-white-meat and endlessly dippable, Popeyes nuggets are the easiest way to get that Louisiana crunch in snack form. Here's the full Popeyes nuggets menu for 2026 with prices and calories for every flavor and size.

Popeyes makes its nuggets from white-meat chicken hand-battered in the same seasoning blend used on the tenders, then fried until golden. They're a lighter pick than tenders or bone-in chicken and hold up well as a snack between meals. The current lineup comes in three bold flavors — Voodoo, Cheese and Bold BBQ — in 3, 5 and 8-piece orders, plus a 48-piece group pack for a crowd.
