The fries were better than the chicken last night. I went at 9 and they close at 11 so it wasn't as if it was a big deal to wait for new chicken. Chicken was just not hot, had clearly been sitting for a while. Not moist or tender, breading hard as a rock. Whatever, I'll still be back :btroll:

popeyes really needs to get a spicy sauce on the menu. wendy's ghost pepper ranch is fantastic. why is popeyes not giving us the spicy option and no bayou buffalo does not count buffalo sauce is bullshit

Went to Popeye's last night about 15-20ish before closing. Its a rare no-drive through location in a strip center.

Got a 4 piece but they gave me 6 pieces and a free large red beans + rice because they were trying to get rid of the excess food before close.

Not a bad thing to try again in the future IMO.

Are you not asking for spicy and getting normal by default, is this a macho thing, or just joking around?

I mean being popeyes, it's entirely possible (likely even) they gave you the wrong food a couple of times, but not every time if you have been there a bunch.

I feel like the heat from their chicken isn't all up front, I've thought I had regular before after a couple of bites before it started to creep up and build up a little, is that it?

Even if you don't think it has any heat at all (?), the spicy still has actual good flavor to it beyond just a pinch of black pepper.

Otherwise if you honestly can't tell the difference between their regular and spicy chicken something is probably wrong with your taste buds or your brain.

I'm gonna assume you are just messing around, but I've got to go to bat for my boys at popeyes usually having some drat good fried chicken.

Spicy is just more flavorful (I’d argue that “spicy” is a bit of a misnomer, but my wife seems to think it is), it’s not going to kick you in the head or anything.

I know people taste things differently, but even with the "not actually spicy at all" stance like the two above posts say, also like the two above posts say I wouldn't say it just tastes like "just a pinch of black pepper". It's actually good. Thus the "just joking around" or "broken taste buds or brain" thing.

if we're talking about sandwiches then the spicy chicken is literally not spicy in and of itself, it's the same breast slathered in spicy sauce

but their bone in chicken and their tenders absolutely do have a different seasoning in the coating

“Spicy” at Popeyes can be really variable. Spicy in New Orleans always had a good bit of heat, in Boston much less so

FEEL FREE TO DISREGARD THIS POST

It is guaranteed to be lazy, ignorant, and/or uninformed.
My first job was working at a Popeye's and my job was to season the chicken. The Seasoning for regular is just salt and for Spicey its not a spice blend its just cayenne pepper. I made the mistake the first time of not wearing gloves to season the spicey and that was a loving experience.

So yeah its totally subjective because some Popeyes' the seasoner may not really season the hell out of the spicey. When i did it this was 30 years ago and we loving slathered that poo poo on the chicken to where it was just covered in cayenne.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Whatever they put in most spicy fast food that makes my tummy unhappy even though I enjoy eating it does not seem to be present in popeyes.

Popeyes is doing the 6pc wings get another 6pc for $1 deal. Which is good, their wings have been tasty and quite large.

KFC also has a 12pc chicken bucket for 50% off also.

I usually get 6 honey bbq and 6 sweet n spicy.

The honey bbq are always hotter for me for some reason.

I may have tried the ghost pepper once before. But it's only mid hot apparently.

From what I saw on some youtubers the signature hot is their hottest and its legit hot. Im not a spicy hot aficionado, so I've never tried it yet.

Two 6 piece wings is like 1700+ calories mostly fat. I liked the spicy wings the one time I had them but I don't think they reheat and that's too much food for me

Solution: It's not mostly fat if you eat the bones. Fixes the ratio.

Got the 12 wings last night. Got the Sweet n Spicy and Ghost Pepper. Sweet n Spicy was good as usual. Ghost Pepper was a rub and not a sauce and seems flavorless? I had to dunk into the ranch. Shoulda got more SnS or the HoneyBBQ.

They're still some of the biggest wings in town, and really good.
