It seemed like there was something new for us to dip its fried food in every quarter. So it&#8217;s not surprising to see Popeyes pop out a new condiment for its Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, which combines creamy herb buttermilk ranch with a zesty and buttery buffalo sauce. <\/p>\n<p>I guess Popeyes could&#8217;ve included two different sauces with this sandwich, but that would&#8217;ve been, as they like to say in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry, inefficient. The orange Franken-flavoring is applied to both halves of a buttery brioche bun that also holds the brand&#8217;s signature hand-battered and breaded chicken and barrel cured pickles. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/popbrcs2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Popeyes Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich Top\" title=\"popbrcs2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, the combo doesn&#8217;t create a condiment that I&#8217;d consider a Buffalo ranch. Instead, it\u2019s more like a buffalo <del>ranch<\/del>. Think of it as a less intense Buffalo sauce in terms of flavor and heat, and whatever ranch notes there are, they&#8217;re not noticeable. It&#8217;s as if the Buffalo sauce&#8217;s vinegary tang hides the ranch&#8217;s tang. It also doesn&#8217;t help that the pickles cut through the condiment&#8217;s intensity.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/popbrcs3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Popeyes Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich Split\" title=\"popbrcs3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You know what you&#8217;re getting with the chicken if you&#8217;ve had any previous Popeyes Chicken Sandwich. It&#8217;s a pleasantly plump piece that has an equally pleasant crunchy coating. But, because the sauce&#8217;s flavor isn&#8217;t too bold and the poultry is thicker in the middle, it&#8217;s the reason why I didn&#8217;t notice the condiment at all when I took bites from the center of the sandwich. However, the Buffalo flavor was much more noticeable when I took bites from the sandwich&#8217;s edges.<\/p>\n<p>Popeyes&#8217; Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich is a fine evolution of the original but doesn&#8217;t surpass or equal it. Because of the solid base built with the now familiar chicken, pickles, and bun, even the addition of a slightly disappointing sauce still makes it worth a try. Although, if you&#8217;re a ranch stan, this sandwich may disappoint your taste buds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIDE NOTE:<\/strong> I&#8217;d really like to see Popeyes reach into its vast sauce vault (it&#8217;s probably called The Sault and located in Louisiana) and offer its chicken sandwich with previous sauces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> $7.69*<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 634 calories, 35 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 86 milligrams of cholesterol, 1667 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 29 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
