When it comes to fried chicken and bold moves, Popeyes is never one to sit quietly in the back. Remember when the brand caused a fast food frenzy with its game-changing chicken sandwich back in 2019? That moment sparked a full-blown chicken sandwich war, and we’re still talking about it today. Well, Popeyes is stirring the pot again, and this time, it’s going after another fast food classic—McDonald’s Snack Wraps.
Three New Chicken Wraps Have Entered the Chat
Starting June 2, Popeyes is rolling out three crispy Chicken Wraps that are already turning heads. The timing couldn’t be juicier. McDonald’s recently teased the long-awaited return of its Snack Wraps, but Popeyes just beat them to the punch.
Here’s the wrap-down: Popeyes is offering Classic, Spicy, and Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps. Each one is packed with a crispy chicken tender, fresh lettuce, shredded cheese, and a few pickles—all tucked in a soft tortilla that’s been “inspired by the flavor of their biscuit.” It’s a bold claim, but Popeyes fans know the biscuit flavor is sacred territory.
The sauces make all the difference here. The Classic comes with creamy mayo, the Spicy brings the heat with spicy mayo, and the Honey Mustard adds a sweet zing. At $3.99 a pop, these wraps are affordable, tasty, and easy to eat on the go.
A Refreshing Lineup of Blueberry Drinks Joins the Menu
To wash down those crunchy, savory bites, Popeyes has also introduced some new sips that lean into summer. The chain just dropped Blueberry Lemonade in both chilled and frozen options, perfect for beating the heat. If lemonade isn’t your thing, they’ve also got Blueberry Cane Sweet Tea and Blueberry Cane Unsweet Tea.
These drinks come just weeks after the wild pickle menu launch that included pickle lemonade and fried pickles. So, while these blueberry options might not sound quite as out-there, they’re still a fresh, fruity surprise that fits right in with the season.
Fans React as the Fast Food Wrap Battle Heats Up
Let’s be real—everybody’s been waiting on McDonald’s to bring back Snack Wraps. They teased us with cryptic dates like “0x.14.2025,” but nothing concrete has landed. Meanwhile, Popeyes swooped in with full wraps, bold flavors, and a price tag that makes them even more tempting.
It’s a clever play and one that fans of the Louisiana-based chain are already praising. Popeyes has always been about serving bold Southern flavor in surprising ways, and this latest move shows they aren’t afraid to compete where it counts.
So while McDonald’s continues to tease and test behind the scenes, Popeyes is already winning hearts (and stomachs) with a crispy, saucy, flavorful handheld meal that’s hard to ignore.
