\"Popeyes<\/p>\n

The list of limited time only Popeyes Chicken Sandwiches is long. However, it\u2019s not CVS-receipt-long, like the list of Taco Bell\u2019s loaded Nacho Fries or Burger King\u2019s Whoppers. Out of all those chicken sandwiches, only one comes to mind that I\u2019d like to see reappear \u2014 the Golden BBQ Chicken Sandwich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now there\u2019s another one I\u2019d like to see make a return someday, or become a permanent addition: the Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Yep, another sweet barbecue-sauced crispy chicken sandwich. Can\u2019t help it. My tongue loves what my tongue loves.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m actually surprised this honey BBQ sauce-slathered sandwich didn\u2019t happen sooner, because I\u2019m pretty sure this is the same sauce used with Popeyes wings<\/a>. So when this disappears from the menu, I could honey muster the courage to ask nicely for a chicken sandwich that swaps the mayo for the honey BBQ sauce used with Popeyes wings. Or I could write a letter to Popeyes corporate with a CVS-receipt-long list of reasons why customers should be able to easily customize their sandwich with whatever sauces Popeyes offers.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich comes with Popeyes\u2019 chicken breast filet marinated in Louisiana herbs and spices, barrel-cured pickles, and a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, all on a toasted, buttery brioche bun. Along with being surprised that this sandwich didn\u2019t come out sooner, I\u2019m also surprised this isn\u2019t topped with hot honey, because looking at store shelves, it appears that hot honey is still hot, honey.<\/p>\n

\"Although<\/p>\n

The sauce is sweet, savory, and a little peppery, and it goes extremely well with Popeyes\u2019 chicken fillet and the tangy pickles. The honey\u2019s flavor leaves a strong impression. However, I wish the sauce had been applied more liberally, because I wanted more of that sweet and tangy flavor. The slightly sweet bun and the poultry tempered the sticky sauce a bit. While the barbecue sauce was applied to both buns, I wish the crispy fillet had been coated with it, even if that meant one extremely messy experience. I\u2019ll gladly trade cleanliness for a mouth that looked like it was bobbing for apples in a barrel of barbecue sauce.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

As for the chicken, it was its usual juicy and tender self with a crispy coating. Though I\u2019ve had maybe three Popeyes chicken sandwiches over the past six months and all of them had fillets that were thick on one side and thin on the other. So there\u2019s one meaty side and the other is mostly breading. Of course, your Popeyes locations may vary.<\/p>\n

Overall, Popeyes\u2019 Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich is a winner winner chicken dinner\u2026or lunch.<\/p>\n
