AFTER a three-year hiatus, Popeyes fans may once again order a spicy, old-school favorite – but only for a limited time.
The chicken chain has decided to bring back its Ghost Pepper Wings after first launching in 2014.
Customers can order six wings for $6 or 12 wings for $12 through the app or online.
However, you must act fast as the deal is only available until February 12.
The crispy wings are marinated in a ghost pepper spice blend for at least 12 hours, hand-battered, breaded, and served with Popeyes buttermilk ranch.
The company said in a press release that the wings “balance the perfect level of kick,” making them an enjoyable option for everyone – not just spicy lovers.
President of Popeyes North America Sami Siddiqui said in a press release, “Our Ghost Pepper Wings have been a fan favorite amongst our guests, combining the perfect amount of spice and flavor for wing lovers.”
To make things even sweeter, with each Ghost Pepper Wings order, customers will receive 200 loyalty points.
This means guests may be able to grab a free Apple Pie using their rewards points.
FEELING SWEET
For those feeling spicy and sweet, Popeyes also brought back two desserts: the Blueberry Lemon Pie and the Strawberry Cheesecake Cup.
The Blueberry Lemon Pie is similar to a handheld pie and features blueberries, cream cheese, and a touch of lemon flavor.
Customers can enjoy the treat on the go as it comes in a flaky, turnover-style pastry.
The Strawberry Cheesecake Cup has a thick and rich cheesecake filling and is mixed with a strawberry puree.
It comes served in a cup shape with a graham cracker crumb crust.
IN THE COMMENTS
As soon as the wings were available, fans rushed to score their share.
One Twitter user wrote: “Popeyes ghost pepper wings have me in a chokehold. It’s Monday and it’s my third time this week getting them.”
Another said: “I’m up at 2am wanting Popeyes ghost pepper wings.”
Not everyone was able to try the favorite as it seemed some locations ran out quickly.
One Twitter user wrote: “The ghost pepper wings from Popeyes are delicious but they sold out everywhere.”
Another said: “I’ve been craving these ghost pepper wings from Popeyes for like three days and now when I can finally get ’em they sold out.”
The wings are available until February 12, or while supplies last.
Last year, Popeyes was set to open 200 more branches in 2023.
Plus, Popeyes recently launched its Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich.
