Popeyes already has some serious fried chicken cred under its belt as the reigning champ of the Fried Chicken Sandwich "wars" on top of some seriously good crispy poultry.

They're looking to bolster their reputation as fast food's top fried chicken by doing the classic nugget better than everyone else, and that iteration is getting served up nationwide soon.

Foodbeast first reported on the existence of these new nuggets in February 2021, and on July 27th, they will be available at all Popeyes locations nationwide. During tests, these chicken bites got some serious high marks on Twitter, akin to what drove the popularity behind Popeyes' signature chicken sandwich.

In restaurants, you'll be able to order between 4 and 36 pieces of the new nuggets, which use the same recipe as the chicken in the Popeyes sandwich. Folks that order using the Popeyes app can go even bigger and get 4 dozen nuggets at once.

Time will have to tell if Popeyes can strike lightning twice with these nuggets, but so far, the early signs are pretty promising.
