Popeyes Chicken

Ordinarily I would never give any fast food place 4 stars just by the very nature of being fast food but there are little to no places that have spicy food so Popeyes gets a break because at least they have spicy fried chicken. Nonetheless, the spicy level is still significantly less than stateside but at least there’s a little flavor.

I always try to say something nice when writing a review. This time I can’t. I like Popeyes Chicken and decided to try their new Dip’n Chick’n special. In the picture it looks like nuggets or a «popcorn» chicken — in fact it is the assorted leftover cuttings from trimming better pieces of chicken. Each piece is an irregular odd size from clumps to crumbs in a soggy batter. These are the pieces of chicken that would normally be thrown away or used in pet food. A dish made from garbage!
In the store it is pictured with fries and a biscuit. You would expect these to be full complements. In fact it is just a few fries buried under the chicken and a biscuit about a quarter of the regular size. You get no warning about this «bait and switch».
This dish is an embarrassment for Popeyes and more evidence that this franchise is spiraling down in quality and customer satisfaction.
