Popeyes Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich is a spicy kick of bold flavor

While many people love that chicken from Popeyes, the popular quick service restaurant wants to kick up the flavor experience. The new Popeyes Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich is the bold flavor that will have people coming back for another order.

Flavors and food trends continue to evolve. A few years back, some people were cautiously wading into jalapeno and chipotle pepper flavors. Today, people want bigger, bolder peppers. Middle ground on the Scoville level only gets people hungry for more.

With the new Popeyes Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich is bold, yet balanced offering from the popular quick service restaurant. According to the food brand, the classic Popeyes chicken sandwich is topped with a chili-infused Ghost Pepper sauce. The richness of the chicken with its buttermilk-batter helps to balance the intense spice from the pepper.

Even the slightly brininess of the barrel-cured pickles and the richness of the butter-toasted brioche bun help to create a well-balanced bite. The ghost pepper might be more extreme, but the combination of all the flavors makes for the perfect bite. It is far from scary.

Joining the new sandwich is a seasonal beverage, Apple Cranberry Tea and Lemonade. The fall-inspired flavor combination is sweet, tart, and slightly spicy. The warm spices capture that cozy feeling while the apple and cranberry are both sweet and tart.  Whether enjoyed with a classic Southern-style fried chicken or the new sandwich, it is quite satisfying.

To celebrate the new Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich, Popeyes is offering a limited time Chick or Treat offer. Included in this special purchase, guests who spend $5 or more can receive a free Chocolate Chip Biscuit. To receive this promo, guests need to ask in the restaurant or find the promo via the app.

Adding the special “treat” promo during the spooky season is smart for Popeyes. It is more than just another value meal. Given that more people hunger for a sweet treat during the spooky season, they will appreciate this special bonus in October.

Popeyes is celebrating the spicy and sweet. Even though there might be frights all around during the October, the Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich and Chick or Treat offer are not scary.
