While the restaurants are working to get the chicken sandwich re-stocked, the simple solution is to buy a three-piece tenders. See, other people are doing it. Check out this video.

Yes, the video is humorous, but the point is valid. Popeyes never ran out of chicken. Just because you might have to assemble the sandwich yourself doesn’t mean that you can’t have this particular sandwich.

Actually, this idea could be a huge opportunity for Popeyes. Since customers are making their own chicken sandwiches, there could be some new flavor combinations on the horizon. For example, what if you added some honey heat drizzle on top of the chicken? What if you added a little aioli instead of a pickle?

Truthfully, the who bring your own bun idea can totally change the flavor experience. Sure, those plain white bun allows the chicken to shine, but a different bun could be a game changer. What if you used a challah bread or a everything seasoned bun?
