Each option costs $5, giving diners multiple ways to build a quick meal while spending less.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"popeyes meal deal featuring various chicken items and sides\" title=\"popeyes meal deal featuring various chicken items and sides\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/262f8c0e-dccf-4bf9-871d-3d7a34121c15.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-l4pefh e1geg53v2\">Courtesy of Popeyes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If the sandwich sounds familiar, it should. Popeyes\u2019 Chicken Sandwich became one of the most talked-about fast-food launches of the past decade when it debuted in 2019.
