Popeyes offers two options for getting your frozen Thanksgiving turkey, with the bird available to be shipped nationwide and picked up in stores. The shipping options will probably be the most convenient for most people, but there is one catch. This year, the turkey is priced starting at $54.99 for pickup, which is more expensive but not too bad compared to a normal Butterball-style frozen turkey from the supermarket. However, shipping that big bird costs a pretty penny, and it will up the price of your Thanksgiving dinner to $99.

Popeyes' downfall is the ratio of batter to chicken. To start, the chicken strips are too thin and are coated with breading that is thicker than the meat. The breading is shatteringly crispy and well-seasoned, and it doesn't slide off the chicken when you bite into it. But with so little chicken inside, all we really tasted was the breading.

The shrimp used for the popcorn shrimp are tiny, disappearing under a mound of breading that all but conceals their briny, umami-rich flavor. After one bite, you'd swear that you're only eating breading. If you make the concerted effort to dig the shrimp out of the breading, you'll regret having done so. The shrimp themselves are rubbery and overcooked, no doubt cooked from frozen. We ended up concluding that the breading must be a decoy to conceal the terrible texture of the shrimp.

Popeyes is turning up the heat this fall with a collaboration that merges two powerhouses of flavor and culture. The iconic Louisiana-born chicken chain has teamed up with the viral YouTube series Hot Ones to launch a first-of-its-kind menu experience, giving fans the chance to put their spice tolerance to the ultimate test. Starting September 15, the Popeyes x Hot Ones menu will debut nationwide, delivering a curated lineup of dishes inspired by the legendary hot sauces featured on the internet's most talked-about wing challenge.

The fast food chain will open its doors in Camden High Street at 11am on Saturday, July 12, with the first three customers in the queue winning free chicken sandwiches for a year.

The Tooting Popeyes will offer exclusive merchandise to the first 50 customers, while the first three in line can win free chicken sandwiches for a year.

"The pickle lemonade started as a lark," said Amy Alarcon, the chain's vice president of culinary innovation. But its hydration benefits in a test kitchen weren't lost on the team, and "it was really good."

Popeyes uses beef tallow, a solid fat rendered from beef, for its fried products, enhancing flavor and heat stability, crucial for deep frying.
