Popeye’s Picks North Carolina To Test Amazing New Sandwich
Popeyes and hot sauce brand TRUFF have teamed up to launch a new line of TRUFF Chicken Sandwiches. They’re also adding new TRUFF Sauce side cups. The good news? Popeyes locations here in North Carolina were chosen to test this amazing-looking new sandwich! Connecticut was also chosen but who cares about them haha. There are a total of eight variations that feature TRUFF’s Spicy Mayo. It features flavors of red jalapeños, umami, and black winter truffles along with mayo.
Sources also say that these test sandwiches could be offered nationwide in the future. Word is that a TRUFF Chicken Sandwich Bundle could also be offered. It would consist of your choice of one TRUFF Chicken Sandwich. Plus, eight bite-sized nuggets, one regular side of homestyle Mac & Cheese made with real butter and cream. It comes with a side of TRUFF Spicy Mayo for around $16.99 (prices could vary).
Here are the eight varieties of Popeyes’ TRUFF Chicken Sandwich coming to select restaurants.
