Chicken lovers rejoice, because Popeyes has officially announced it is adding chicken nuggets to its menus.

Popeyes’ nuggets promise to maintain the same high quality and tasty flavor as the fast-food chain’s famous Chicken Sandwich. With the nuggets, Popeyes fans can now experience the ever-popular chicken in tiny, crunchy and poppable bites. With these new chicken bites, Popeyes is hoping to up the ante with their hand-battered and breaded buttermilk crust that provides the chicken with the perfect, crispy texture that fans love and expect from the classic flagship fried chicken. Using succulent chicken breasts as the base for the nuggets, guests can prepare to meet a wide range of taste preferences in Popeyes’ signature sauces including the Bayou Buffalo, BoldBQ, Blackened Ranch, Buttermilk Ranch, Mardi Gras Mustard and Sweet Heat.

The new nuggets will be available to purchase in four-piece to 36 piece orders starting July 27 in U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Customers will also be able to order 48-piece options exclusively online at Popeyes.
