Popeyes launches new Chicken Wraps: What to know
Popeyes has added a flavorful new category to its menu. On Monday, the popular fried chicken chain announced the launch of its new Chicken Wraps, which boast the "same legendary Louisiana flavor with a whole new twist." "Whether you're cruising through errands, road tripping or hopping between meetings, Popeyes is bringing their signature crunch that you crave in a grab-and-go style that's big on flavor and easy on the wallet," the company stated in a June 2 press release. Described as "generously sized," the wraps are now available to order at participating locations nationwide, as well as through the Popeyes app and website, for a limited time while supplies last. Priced at $3.99 each, the wraps come in three bold flavor options. "Each one is packed with a Popeyes hand-breaded and battered chicken tender, crisp lettuce, shredded cheese, crunchy pickles and topped with your choice of a Classic, Spicy or Honey Mustard spread, all tucked into a soft, warm tortilla inspired by our famous biscuits," the company stated. According to chef Amy Alarcon, VP of culinary innovation at Popeyes, the new wraps are all about portability and signature flavor. "With our new Chicken Wraps, we've taken our iconic chicken tenders and wrapped them in something completely new, bringing all that craveable crunch in a fresh, portable way," Alarcon said in a statement included with the release. "We wanted to create a Chicken Wrap that was undeniably Popeyes. Infusing the flavors from our famous biscuit into our wraps was the perfect way to ensure our signature flavors shined through." Popeyes also rolled out a refreshing summer beverage lineup, featuring new Blueberry Lemonade and Teas. "Building on the hype of Popeyes viral Pickle Lemonade, this new berry-infused offering includes Blueberry Lemonade (Chilled or Frozen), Blueberry Cane Sweet Tea and Blueberry Unsweet Tea," the company said in its press release Monday. The announcement comes as McDonald's prepares to bring back its fan-favorite Snack Wrap this summer. The returning item -- featuring a chicken strip, shredded lettuce, cheese, and sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla -- is set to become a permanent menu offering at McDonald's restaurants nationwide starting July 10, the chain confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday. "From countless social media posts to full-fledged petitions, they never gave up on their favorite menu item," McDonald's said in a statement, referring to fans of the Snack Wrap. "They're the ones who inspired us to make its return to the menu happen."

Popeyes introduces new Chicken Wraps: See what's in them
Popeyes is adding a new way for its customers to enjoy fried chicken. The fast food chain announced on Monday, June 2, that it is introducing Chicken Wraps to its menu, giving customers the "craveable flavor of Popeyes, now wrapped and ready to go wherever you do," according to a news release. The wraps feature Popeyes hand-breaded and battered chicken tenders with crispy lettuce, shredded cheese and crunchy pickles, all in a warm tortilla that's inspired by the flavor of Popeyes biscuits. The new item will cost $3.99 and will be available with your choice of a Classic, Spicy, or Honey Mustard spread. In addition to the wraps, Popeyes is also adding a new lineup of blueberry lemonade and tea beverages. The lineup includes Blueberry Lemonade, which customers can get chilled or frozen, Blueberry Cane Sweet Tea and Blueberry Unsweet Tea. The wraps and drinks will be available beginning June 2 for a limited time at participating Popeyes restaurants nationwide. 'With our new Chicken Wraps, we've taken our iconic chicken tenders and wrapped them in something completely new, bringing all that craveable crunch in a fresh, portable way,' said Chef Amy Alarcon, VP of Culinary Innovation at Popeyes, in a news release. 'We wanted to create a Chicken Wrap that was undeniably Popeyes. Infusing the flavors from our famous biscuit into our wraps was the perfect way to ensure our signature flavors shined through.' A highly anticipated chicken wrap is returning to another fast food chain's menus at some point this year. The return of the Snack Wrap could be coming soon, though McDonald's still is not spilling the exact date. McDonald's U.S. president Joe Erlinger confirmed on "Good Morning America" in December 2024 that the fan-favorite menu item would be making a comeback sometime in 2025. Last month, the chain's social media accounts shared another clue to the wrap's official return date. On April 15, McDonald's official X account posted "snack wraps 0x.14.2025," teasing that the menu item would return on the 14th day of an unspecified month. Though the "0x" indicates that it should be coming before October, in which the first digit would flip to a 1. 'The Snack Wrap will be back in 2025,' Erlinger told "Good Morning America" in December 2024. 'It has a cult following. I get so many emails into my inbox about this product.' Erlinger declined to reveal when exactly the Snack Wrap would return due to what he called "competitive reasons." In February 2025, CEO Christopher Kempczinski said there is "incredible energy" for the return of the Snack Wraps in the U.S. when discussing McDonald's plans and its fourth quarter financial performance with investment analysts.
