Savor the flavor of fall with Popeyes’ returning deal and new sweet-tangy beverages.
Popeyes finally joins the fall feasts as it unveils its latest seasonal offerings. What we love about these offers: their prices are as comforting as their flavors! Seeing that the new normal for fast food chains is to offer value-based menu items, Popeyes leverages on its ability to offer multi-piece chicken meals plus refreshing beverages to complete the dining experience. Let’s dive into the limited-time offers you shouldn’t miss from this brand.
$6 Big Box
Popeyes has brought back a fan-favorite deal, the $6 Big Box, which is now 99 cents cheaper than its previous price of $6.99. This fall 2024, the deal will also have two variations: one with a 2-piece signature chicken and the other with three-piece chicken tenders. The Signature Chicken Big Box will feature two pieces of dark meat chicken, your choice if they’re going to be in classic or spicy flavor. Plus, you also get two regular sides and one biscuit.
Meanwhile, the Tenders Big Box will have three pieces of classic, spicy, or blackened chicken tenders. These will be paired with one biscuit, two regular sides of your choice, and one dipping sauce. Both variations cost $6 and will be available at participating Popeyes locations until November 24, 2024.
Popeyes also reminds customers that prices may still vary by location and are higher for delivery orders. Additionally, this special offer cannot be combined with other coupons, offers, or discounts.
Apple Cranberry Lemonades and Teas
Of course, Popeyes also has something new this fall season. Introducing: Apple Cranberry Lemonade and Apple Cranberry Frozen Lemonade. The former is a well-balanced drink that combines the refreshing flavors of Apple and Cranberry. The latter most likely has the same flavor, but the pink and yellow swirls are distinct and its texture makes it a sippable frozen treat. Both lemonades cost $3.49 but prices may vary depending on the location.
If you’re looking for teas this fall season, you may also want to check out Popeyes’ Apple Cranberry Tea. This has sweet and unsweetened variations, available for $2.99 each. This combination of flavors has been celebrated for years and now you can enjoy the tart, sweet kick in your favorite afternoon drink!
In other fast food news, Burger King recently unveiled a value meal based on its limited-time Addams Family Menu, in celebration of Halloween. It’s worth noting, though, that BK’s special offer is double the price of Popeyes’ $6 Big Box.
Signature Chicken or Chicken Tenders?
Cooking fried chicken is what Popeyes does best. Hence, it makes sense that it’s included in their limited-time $6 value meal. So are you team signature chicken or team chicken tenders? If you haven’t decided yet, it would be helpful to know what makes these chicken dishes so special.
Signature Chicken
Popeyes’ Signature Chicken is known for its crunchy Southern coating, moist texture, and flavorful meat. According to the restaurant, each piece is marinated in a signature blend of Louisiana spices. In terms of taste, fans have described the chicken to have hints of sweetness, saltiness, and some buttery goodness.
In September 2024, just in time for the National Chicken Month, Popeyes’ Signature Chicken was made available for an unbeatable price—3 pieces for $5! The brand launched this generous offer after the “Value Wars” took off in the summer.
Chicken Tenders
Similar to the Signature Chicken, the Chicken Tenders are bursting with Louisiana flavors. It’s also hand-battered with buttermilk, giving it the buttery flavor and craggy texture. Some customers claimed that the chicken tenders have a slight peppery and spicy flavor. What makes the Chicken Tenders special is they have a blackened variation. This means that the tenders have no breading, and are instead coated with blackened seasoning. This spice blend turns almost black when cooked, hence the name.

From The Club
Popeyes is really doing the right things to tickle my taste buds! I always go hunting for value meals, and the $6 Big Box looks promising. This time, I’ll be joining the team chicken tenders; I’m kind of in love with the blackened variation, lol! Anyway, the Apple Cranberry beverages sound refreshing. They’re different from what other food brands offer for the fall season (hint: pumpkin spice everything). It’s always nice to celebrate the season with underrated flavors that still capture autumn’s comforting vibe.
