Popeyes Chicken Sandwich Menu & Prices

It's the sandwich that sold out nationwide and kicked off the great chicken-sandwich war of 2019 — and it's still one of the best fast-food handhelds you can buy. Here's the full Popeyes chicken sandwich menu with 2026 prices and calories for every build.

The formula is deceptively simple: a thick, buttermilk-battered white-meat fillet, crunchy barrel-cured pickles and a swipe of mayo on a toasted brioche bun. From there Popeyes runs variations — turn up the heat with Spicy or the fiery Ghost Pepper version, or pile on Bacon & Cheese for a loaded take. Order any of them as a combo with Cajun fries and a drink.
