Popeyes makes a big play towards being football fans flavorful choice

Food and football are always a winning combination. Popeyes wants to be that food associated with game day. By partnering with DoorDash, putting its chicken in people’s hands will score them a flavor win.

Whether it is a homegate, tailgate, or just watching the game on the couch with family, football is always associated with a food spread. Beyond snacks and beverages, people want something that looks like a meal. As the teams head to the locker room at halftime, fans pick up the plate and dig into their own food break.

Chicken wings have always been a popular football food. Putting aside the debate over drums or flats or even which sauce is supreme, the reality is that people appreciate the wings' convenience. Even though some extra napkins are always a good idea, no one needs extra utensils. Sitting or standing, that plate of chicken wings goes everywhere.

While quick service restaurants have had many “chicken wars,” it is now the battle of wing supremacy. From big, bold flavors to special promotions, each brand is looking to be the first choice when placing that food order.

In the latest promotion from Popeyes, the quick service restaurant brand has partnered with DoorDash to turn that gameday into an event. Could you get an epic wing truck delivery?

As Bart LaCount. Chief Marketing Officer said, “At Popeyes, we know the excitement of game day goes beyond the field–it’s also about bringing people together to enjoy great food and great moments. And, as the Official Wing of Watching Football, we’re committed to being a part of every fan’s experience, no matter where they choose to watch. By bringing our Wings to watch parties and tailgates across the country, we’re not only serving up those bold, Louisiana flavors our fans know and love, but also making sure that Popeyes is at the heart of every football celebration.”

While some people will get the opportunity to see that Wing Truck in action, everyone can get some big savings on a Popeyes Wings order. The Popeyes Tailgating Bundle promotion will be 25% when ordered via DoorDash. The promotion runs October 5 through November 25, 2024.

For those unfamiliar with the Popeyes Tailgating Bundle, the food deal includes 24 pc wings, either bone-in or boneless, three regular sides, and four dipping sauces. Guests can order up to four flavor selections for the wings. Options include the new Sweet ‘N Smokey Chipotle, Roasted Garlic Parmesan, Honey Lemon Pepper, Ghost Pepper, and Honey BBQ.

Could Popeyes chicken wings become the must have food for a winning season? Why not place an order. No matter the outcome on the field, that chicken from Popeyes is always a flavor win.
