I tried Popeyes' viral, ‘dill-icious' pickle menu and here's everything you need to know
Popeyes new, limited-time pickle menu is going viral on social media, and after taste testing it myself, I can honestly see the hype and appeal.
If you happen to be a pickle lover, much like I am, the new menu lineup is a surefire hit, and might I say 'dill-icious.'

With the pickle menu in front of me, the item that had to be tested first was unquestionably the fried pickles. The thin-sliced, fried pickle bites were just as I imagined them to be — crispy, dilly, with a hint of peppery spice to bring it all together.
Pair the fried pickles with the blackened ranch dip, and you've got yourself an appetizer for the ages. Fortunately, the fried pickles are here to stay, and are featured on Popeyes $4 items menu.

The pickle glaze sandwich was next on the must-try queue, and it exceed my expectations. The crispy, hand-battered chicken is coated in a zesty pickle flavoured glaze and topped with, you guessed it, thick-cut pickles, creating a seasoned, dilly aroma.
If you like Popeyes' classic chicken sandwich and happen to already ask for extra pickles during your visits, this sandwich is a match made in heaven.
The pickle glaze wings, available boneless and bone-in, were the showstoppers of the new menu. Both versions are tossed in a bold, tangy, mouth-watering pickle flavoured glaze, and come packed with a punch of heat and a dilly essence.
While they already come quite flavourful, pairing it with the bayou Buffalo dip it came with added an extra kick and zest, making for what was easily the most memorable bite of the day.

If pickles and dill are typically something you gravitate toward, then any of the pickle menu items will be a hit, but if you haven't dabbled in pickled food, it may be an acquired taste.
The pickle menu is available at participating restaurants across Canada for a limited time.
