Popeyes Is Quietly Re-Adding Chicken Nuggets To Its Menu

Popeyes may have just taken Cajun Rice off of its menu, but it appears to be exploring the comeback of a different item: Chicken Nuggets.

Multiple reports of the bite-sized morsels have sprung up in several states across the Midwest and East Coast. These include Texas, Connecticut, Arkansas, and Ohio.

YouTuber Daym Drops was even able to get a hold of them a while back, with a video of the nuggets surfacing as early as December. That means that Popeyes has been playing with these new nuggets for a while, possibly starting them out as a limited test then expanding them more regionally.

Popeyes did have nuggets as a regular menu item as recently as 2012, but they appear to have been discontinued some time after that. This could have been to make room for boneless wings, which were eventually taken off the menu following the hype of the chain’s chicken sandwich.

Foodbeast has reached out to Popeyes to learn more about what is going on with these new chicken nuggets. UPDATE: Popeyes has confirmed to Foodbeast that the nuggets are being tested as a new entree in select locations.
