Popeyes’ Golden BBQ Rooster Sandwich contains a new Golden BBQ Sauce, a buttermilk-battered crispy-fried hen breast, and barrel-cured pickles, served on a buttery-toasted brioche bun.
I went and purchased the sandwich for $5.49.
The Goldne BBQ Rooster Sandwich is principally the chain’s common Rooster Sandwich however with the brand new Golden BBQ Sauce as an alternative of mayo.
The brand new sauce is a candy and tangy BBQ honey mustard sauce that comes unfold on each the highest and backside bun of the brand new sandwich. It is a pretty delicate sauce with a mellow mustard base and a reasonable tang fleshed out by a lightweight sweeteness and only a trace of smoke. It is good sufficient however not terribly thrilling.
Past the Golden BBQ Sauce, the hen was thick with a good meaty chunk however was only a tad dry (I believe it had been sitting on the hotter for a bit). It had a crispy, flaky, lightly-seasoned crust.
The pickles had been more energizing than your typical fast-food pickle and provided up a pleasant, watery crunch, whereas the bun was delicate and ethereal with a slight richness to it.
When it comes right down to it, Popeyes Golden BBQ Rooster Sandwich was not markedly completely different from the chain’s common Rooster Sandwich. That is to say it was well-made and pleasing to eat however, given its relative mildness, the brand new sauce did not make a lot waves when it comes to taste.
