Popeyes has introduced Boneless Wings to its menu across the United States for the first time ever. These new offerings feature six different flavors: Classic, Honey Lemon Pepper, Signature Hot, Honey BBQ, Sweet ‘N Spicy, and Roasted Garlic Parmesan. Made from tender all-white meat chicken breast, each piece is hand-battered, breaded, and fried to achieve a satisfyingly crispy texture. Whether customers prefer mild or spicy flavors, Popeyes aims to cater to every taste preference.
The decision to add Boneless Wings to the menu follows a lively debate on social media about the merits of boneless versus traditional wings, drawing opinions from food enthusiasts, influencers, athletes, and comedians. In response to this ongoing discussion, Popeyes is confident that their Boneless Wings will win over skeptics. To bolster their claim, Popeyes enlisted actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang, previously a vocal critic of boneless wings. After sampling Popeyes’ offering, Yang has enthusiastically endorsed the product.
Jimmy O. Yang remarked, “Alright, you got me. I wasn’t faking it. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m officially converted to boneless. Popeyes has created such a delicious boneless wing that I’m eating my own words. I used to be a skeptic – honestly, always was – but these are so good. If they won me over, they can win over anyone.”
Jeff Klein, President of Popeyes North America, emphasized the impact of the new Boneless Wings, stating, “Our Boneless Wings are a game changer. Our culinary team has brought the best flavors from our traditional Wing platform to this new Boneless offering, providing our guests with the best of both worlds. We’re so confident that everyone will love them that we’re offering a complimentary 6-piece Boneless Wings with any $10 purchase, as a token of appreciation to our loyal customers and a challenge to skeptics.”
To promote the launch, Popeyes is currently offering a free 6-piece Boneless Wings with any $10 purchase made through the Popeyes app or website until July 14th. These new Boneless Wings are now available at participating Popeyes locations across the United States.
