Popeyes introduces Smoky Garlic Chile Chicken

Popeyes is kicking off summer with a new LTO: Smoky Garlic Chile Chicken.

Customers who order the smoked-chicken offering will receive four battered-and fried tenderloins along with a signature side, a buttermilk biscuit and the chain’s new garlic-herb dipping sauce for $4.99.

“Smoky Garlic Chile Chicken features the flavors of slow-smoked morita chile peppers and garlic in our marinade, bringing a slow-smoked heat to our premium tenderloins we know our guests are going to love,” Hector Munoz, Popeyes chief marketing officer for the U.S., said in a statement.

The chain is promoting its limited-time Lemonade Ice Box Pie as a complement to the smoked-chicken LTO. The pie features a lemonade filling, graham cracker crust and whipped cream rosettes.

Smoky Garlic Chile Chicken will be served in participating restaurants through June 28.
