Popeyes has in all probability give you extra methods to current fried rooster than the variety of letters in Louisiana. There’s the Signature Fried Rooster, rooster wings, boneless rooster wings, rooster tenders, rooster nuggets, popcorn rooster, and several other others I’ve missed. The newest addition is Rooster Dippers, that are skinny strips of all-white breast meat that’s hand-battered and breaded with Popeyes’ signature Louisiana herbs and spices. It’s served along with your selection of dipping sauce, however the chain desires you to strive its new Signature Sauce.
When my order arrived in its sleeve, its presentation made me marvel if this was Popeyes’ try to supply a competitor to Burger King’s Rooster Fries. A few of the skinny, lengthy strips have been curvy, whereas others have been straight. The Rooster Dippers additionally considerably remind me of the chain’s Rip’n Rooster (R.I.P.), however not rip’ready.
Sans sauce, the breaded poultry has the identical Popeyes taste that everyone knows and love, and it’s tasty sufficient that I may eat these with out dipping them into something. Additionally, there was a great quantity of Dippers within the sleeve. Nonetheless, their crunch was underwhelming. Perhaps mine have been made mistaken? There have been crunchy moments, however I keep in mind the chain’s tenders being extra crunch-tastic.
Nonetheless, I got here away extra impressed with Popeyes’ new Signature Sauce. In accordance with the chain’s web site, it’s “impressed by New Orleans meals tradition” and that it “packs a kick of warmth, a touch of candy, and our signature Cajun spices.” It’s like a focus of what goes into the batter of Popeyes’ rooster. It amps up all these spices and makes these Rooster Dippers, that are already tasty, even tastier. And should you’re involved about spiciness, the sauce has a little bit hearth, though I’d take into account it extra of a smoldering.
Talking of warmth, not like a few of Popeyes’ different choices, there isn’t a spicy model of this restricted time providing.
Popeyes Rooster Dippers are simply Popeyes rooster in a special format, nevertheless it’s a format that’s extra shareable than the chain’s tenders. Whereas I don’t suppose you’ll really feel any FOMO with the skinny rooster strips, the Signature Sauce is one thing you shouldn’t miss. Luckily, it’s a everlasting addition, so that you’ll have loads of time to strive it, and you are able to do so with no matter fried rooster du jour Popeyes presents on the time.
