"With so much love for our internet-breaking sandwich, there is no better way to celebrate the launch of our new app than allowing our customers to get a taste of it, and a Coca-Cola, on us.

"It’s the fastest way to get your hands on a Chicken Sandwich, so don’t miss out on the taste everyone’s raving about."

The food item was famously dubbed "the sandwich that broke the internet" because of the huge demand from fans.

The Chicken Sandwich features fresh Shatter Crunchin’ chicken breast that has been marinated for 12 hours in a blend of Louisiana herbs and spices.

The popular sandwich is priced at £8.75, but fans can enjoy exclusive discounts through the Popeyes app.

It follows the chicken shop's major menu change with new meals added - and they have turned a popular dip into an official flavour.

'HOT HONEY'

Popeyes announced the release of its brand-new "Hot Honey" range - including the Hot Honey Sandwich, Hot Honey Saucin’ Wings, Hot Honey Box Meal and Biscuit and Hot Honey.

The popular chain said the launch is a response to fan demand, as the sweet and spicy flavour grows in popularity - with Popeyes UK selling more than 80,000 Hot Honey dips last month alone.

The hashtag #HotHoney also reached 887 million views on TikTok, the brand said.

Fans can tuck into the Hot Honey Box Meal, with the option to bundle their favourite Hot Honey menu items together, including fries and a drink, for just £10.99

The limited-edition Hot Honey Sandwich, Sauncin’ Wings and Box Meal was made available at all Popeyes restaurants, drive-thrus and via delivery nationwide on September 17.

The New Orleans-born fried chicken brand said they were "spicing up" the menu with the launch of the brand-new Hot Honey range.

This includes the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, Hot Honey Saucin’ Wings and Hot Honey Box Meal.

The chain said in a statement: "Sticky, sweet, and with a fiery kick of heat, the Hot Honey range has finally been launched after Popeyes’ followers on social media called for its best-selling Hot Honey dip to be turned into one of its iconic chicken sandwich flavours.

"Now the fans have asked, Popeyes has listened and turned up the temperature with the launch of three mouth-watering limited-edition new menu items. 

"Landing in time for the start of Autumn, fried chicken lovers can keep the summer heat poppin’ with the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich."
