"Popeyes Introduces Permanent Blackened Chicken Sandwich Option"

Popeyes is adding a Blackened Chicken Sandwich to its menu, the first addition to its chicken sandwich line since it launched four years ago. The new menu item features a chicken breast marinated for 12 hours and seasoned with Cajun spices, but lacks the breading of the chain's existing chicken sandwich. Popeyes is also allowing customers to add bacon and Havarti cheese to all of its chicken sandwiches. The menu changes suggest Popeyes is leaning on the popularity of its chicken sandwich to draw in customers.
