April Idiot’s Day has (fortunately) come and gone, however Popeyes’ all-pickle menu wasn’t a prank…it’s the actual deal and obtainable proper now. That’s proper, Popeyes pulled a double-cross! By dropping the information on April 1, the chain tricked everybody into getting excited, solely to plummet us into disappointment after realizing the date after which launch us again into an impatient look forward to such a miraculous menu providing.

Really, this has been an emotional rollercoaster for everybody concerned, particularly individuals who love pickles simply as a lot as they love Popeyes. I rely myself as a kind of, so I grabbed all the things on this limited-time menu. Right here’s what I assumed.

Pickle Glaze Sandwich

Popeyes holds the crown for greatest rooster sandwich, and the chain someway discovered a solution to make the traditional even higher. As a substitute of simply loading the darn factor with a handful of pickle chips and calling it a day, the creators of this pickle sammie employed a “zesty pickle-flavored glaze.” At first, I used to be fairly upset there weren’t extra precise pickles on this sandwich, as a result of I benefit from the textural distinction they supply as a lot as their taste. One solitary pickle slice isn’t sufficient for a pickle-celebrating sandwich!

However, after I obtained about midway by way of the Popeyes pickle glaze sandwich, I didn’t care as a lot in regards to the stunning lack of legit pickles. The pickle-flavored glaze is, actually, fairly zesty and really, superb! Flecked with dill, it has a light-weight, vinegary tang that pairs fantastically with the buttery brioche bun. You may get boneless wings tossed on this glaze, too, in case you’re within the temper for nothing however rooster.

Fried Pickles

There are numerous kinds of fried pickles, and all of them are legitimate. Popeyes’s model makes use of pickle chips, coating them in a thick, dense flour batter that cooks up additional crisp. Personally, I like a thinner batter and a thicker-cut pickle, however that didn’t cease me from inhaling these. There’s actually no such factor as a nasty fried pickle.

Pickle Lemonade

Popeyes Pickle Lemonade tastes extremely much like lemon-lime Gatorade, which is my least favourite taste of Gatorade. (Orange endlessly!) It’s not unhealthy, although! I’d counsel sharing one with a pal so you may each say you at the very least tried it, and seize one other drink to go along with your meal. In the event you prefer it sufficient, you may all the time get one other one for the street.
