Popeyes fans asked for a honey chicken biscuit. They got it

Popeyes says customers have been combining its chicken, biscuits and honey on their own. Now, the fast-food chain is making the combination official.

Popeyes' new Honey Chicken Biscuit arrived on menus nationwide Monday, Sept. 28, putting its fried chicken inside a larger version of its buttermilk biscuit and serving it with two packets of honey sauce.

The sandwich costs $5, although prices may vary by location. It is available at participating Popeyes restaurants, through the Popeyes app and at Popeyes.com, according to the chain.

Popeyes said its culinary team saw an opportunity to turn the customer-created combination into an official menu item.

Popeyes has been highlighting the customer-created combination on Instagram, where fans have been sharing their reactions to the new sandwich.

"Now this is a chicken biscuit I can get behind," one commenter wrote.

"I'm screaming out of excitement," another person said.

A third commenter added, "The moment I've been waiting for."

Other fans also weighed in on the post, with the comments reflecting the anticipation surrounding a combination that customers had already been creating themselves.

Popeyes also brought some celebrity attention to the Honey Chicken Biscuit around the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
