FAST FOOD NEWS: Popeyes Red Stick Chicken

Popeyes Red Stick Chicken

Popeyes latest limited time only creation is their Red Stick Chicken.

It gets its name from the little red sticks that are used to determine the perfect peppers for Tabasco sauce. When the pepper’s color matches the color of the stick, they are ready to be picked.

Popeyes Red Stick Chicken is all white meat chicken tenderloins marinated in a cayenne and Tabasco pepper marinate, which is then hand battered and breaded in a Southern-style crispy coating, and then fried.

For $3.99, you can get four Red Stick Chicken tenderloins with a side of Cajun Fries, a buttermilk biscuit, and Popeyes brand new Smok’n Pepper Ranch dipping sauce. Popeyes Red Stick Chicken will be available until April 26.

Grub Grade has a review of it.

COMING SOON: Trident Layers Swedish Fish Gum

Trident Layers Swedish Fish Gum

Mondelez International is at it again.

They’re combining another of their chewy candy lines with one of their chewing gum lines. Trident Layers Swedish Fish Gum combines the flavor of the red Swedish Fish with lemon. According to @candybarreviews on Twitter, the gum will be released in June 2015.

Stride Gum and Sour Patch Kids were the first Mondelez candy and gum lines to team up. The gum debuted in 2013 with Lime and Redberry flavors. In 2014, Orange and Watermelon flavors were added.

If Mondelez continues to create chewy candy-flavored chewing gum, I hope Dentyne Bassett’s Licorice Candy Allsorts Gum isn’t next.
