Popeyes’ Rooster Dippers are skinny strips of rooster breast meat battered within the chain’s Louisiana garlic and spice mix after which fried till crispy. The chain’s new Signature Sauce “combines the daring flavors of the Louisiana ‘holy trinity’; bell pepper, celery, and onion, together with garlic and a splash of scorching sauce for simply the correct quantity of warmth.”
An order of Rooster Dippers value me $4.99.
They got here in a fry container that regarded slightly gentle on the rooster, however they packed fairly a little bit of rooster in there:
The flavour and flaky breading are the identical as Popeyes’ common rooster strips/tenders, solely lower into small strips. The items different in dimension and form. Some had been straight whereas others twisted and or curled throughout cooking. Most had been pretty meaty however barely dry. My batch was heat however not notably contemporary because the breading had softened a bit and the rooster had began to agency up. Popeyes as soon as provided a principally an identical product referred to as “Depraved Rooster.”
The brand new Signature Sauce was the extra novel and fascinating of the 2 merchandise. It had a creamy mayo and bell pepper base that jogged my memory of Taco Bell’s new Bell Sauce, however with a distinctly Cajun taste and a strong spicy kick that was very pleasurable. It got here in a shallow, spherical container that made for simple dipping.
Total, Popeyes Rooster Dippers and Signature Sauce had been good sufficient on the rooster entrance and wonderful as to the sauce, which in all probability goes nice with the chain’s common tenders and rooster sandwiches.
