"When you're looking for some delicious fried chicken, there are few better fast food chains to visit than Popeyes. The Louisiana-themed restaurant is known for its super flavorful breading, which surpasses that of most other fried chicken chains out there. There are countless delicious dishes to choose from at the restaurant, ranging from the famed spicy chicken sandwich to the more classic signature chicken meals. But just because Popeyes has some seriously tasty offerings on its menu doesn't mean that"
"In fact, there are a few Popeyes items that we tend to avoid ordering when we want the best chain chicken restaurant meal possible. We've determined the menu items you should skip based on personal experience, previous Tasting Table rankings, and online reviews. Of course, everyone has different tastes, so you may actually like some of the items"
"We did a tasting of all the different side dishes you can get at Popeyes and ranked them from worst to best. The worst-rated side dish on the entire menu was the red beans and rice. Now, since this is a Louisiana-style restaurant, you may think that getting the red beans and rice is essential to a good meal. However, we found that wasn't the case, since the rice and red beans had an incredibly mushy texture and excess oil."
Popeyes offers Louisiana-style fried chicken with notably flavorful breading and popular items such as the spicy chicken sandwich and signature chicken meals. Several menu choices can underperform compared with the chain's best offerings. Red beans and rice scored lowest among sides due to an incredibly mushy texture, excess oil, and an overly salty profile. The recommendation to skip certain items draws on personal tastings, prior rankings, and customer reviews. Individual preferences vary, but first-time visitors are advised to prioritize proven favorites and avoid the red beans and rice unless specifically craving a very salty, mushy side.
