Popeyes will be offering its famous 'Louisiana chicken' to fans across the UK as it reveals a host of new restaurant openings. The American fried chicken chain has already proved a hit with fast food fans recently, with crowds lining up in Derby from 10.30pm the night before they opened their restaurant there, and hungry customers in Oxford queuing round the block from 5am on the day the city's first Popeyes opened there.
The chicken company, which was formed in New Orleans in 1972, has revealed Cambridge, Croydon and Reading will be the next locations to experience its famous Louisiana chicken in early 2023. Sites in Rotherham, Cardiff and Glasgow are also planned for next year.
The Popeyes menu boasts a range of classic and spicy chicken burgers in brioche buns, Louisiana chicken on the bone, which has been marinated in herbs and spices for 12 hours, buttermilk chicken tenders and hot wings. Sides include mac and cheese, Cajun seasoned fries, mash and Cajun gravy and the original biscuit, with or without Cajun gravy.
