The new Honey Chicken Biscuit from Popeyes combines three fan-favorite elements: crispy fried chicken, sweet honey sauce, and a buttermilk biscuit. Priced at $5, the sandwich stacks a full-sized chicken fillet atop a large biscuit, accompanied by two honey sauce packets for dipping or drizzling. The menu addition directly responds to years of customer creativity, where diners frequently assembled similar sandwiches themselves by pairing the chicken tender meal with biscuits and honey.
Popeyes highlighted this trend in a recent Instagram post, sharing fan videos of homemade versions before announcing the official arrival. The caption read: “Y’all thought we weren’t listening?” Matt Rubin, Popeyes’ Chief Marketing Officer, described the sandwich as a “delicious, handheld bite, balancing crunchy and soft, savory and sweet, in a combination true to the brand’s Louisiana roots” in the official press release.

While Popeyes has not confirmed a permanent release date for the Honey Chicken Biscuit, its initial rollout suggests strong consumer interest.
