From chicken wraps to fries, one food item connects them all, a flavorful dip. While everyone loves that fried chicken from this popular quick service restaurant, the newest signature menu item goes back to the company’s flavor roots.

Restaurants need a signature menu item. Whether it is tied to a jingle or brings happy memories, that particular food is always associated with the brand. Everyone knows that Popeyes, the Louisiana Kitchen, makes some of the best fried chicken. Tangy, crunchy and juicy, there is nothing better with a buttermilk biscuit.

Popeyes just unveiled a Signature Sauce alongside its new, limited-time-only Chicken Dippers. While the restaurant has many sauces, this one is a game changer.

Built on the foundation of Louisiana cooking, the “holy trinity,” the creamy sauce base is bell pepper, celery, and onion. With a hint of garlic and a dash of hot sauce, it is poised to become everyone’s must-have condiment.

As Chef Amy Alarcon, VP of Culinary Innovation at Popeyes said, “Creating a signature sauce is a monumental moment for our brand, and one we approached with care, knowing it had the potential to become an iconic part of our menu. It’s incredibly unique and ownable to our Cajun roots, which is a true testament to our Louisiana heritage.”

While its chicken sandwich has remoulade and nuggets have tons of dipping sauces, this new Signature Sauce offers more flavor versatility. Just like dips invite people to play with their food, this condiment encourages people to explore food pairings. Fries, sandwiches and everything on the menu goes with this sauce.

Beyond the food pairings, there is another satisfying aspect to the new food offering, the container. The new round cup ensures that every last drop is enjoyed. Maybe the real special aspect to this new menu item is that no one has to fight with their food.

Are signature condiments the newest trend in the quick service restaurant world? Popeyes initiated a food war with its chicken sandwich. Now, it goes all in with its Signature Sauce.
