Get ready for a flavor touchdown! Popeyes, the reigning champion of chicken sandwiches, is teaming up with premium tequila brand Don Julio for a culinary collaboration that’s sure to spice up your Super Bowl LIX experience. Forget the usual game-day snacks—Popeyes is rewriting the playbook with the launch of its first-ever tequila-marinated chicken sandwich. Read on to find out when and where you can get a taste of this limited-edition menu item, honoring the highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX.
Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Concha Chicken Sandwich
Popeyes and Tequila Don Julio are joining forces to deliver a flavor fiesta just in time for the Big Game in New Orleans, home of Popeyes. This collaboration introduces the exclusive Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Championship Lineup menu, blending Popeyes’ signature Louisiana-style cooking with the bold, smooth flavors of Don Julio Reposado tequila.
The star of the menu? The Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Concha Chicken Sandwich. This isn’t your average chicken sandwich. Imagine a juicy chicken breast, marinated in premium Don Julio Reposado tequila, then fried to crispy perfection in Popeyes’ signature buttermilk breading. It’s then layered with a vibrant tequila lime slaw, a fiery spicy spread, and a barrel-cured pickle, all nestled between a sweet and buttery concha roll – a popular Mexican pastry. The result is an explosion of flavors: the savory crunch of Popeyes’ chicken perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the concha and the subtle, sophisticated agave notes of the reposado tequila.
The concha, with its brioche-like texture and crunchy sugar topping, adds a unique twist. This sandwich is a true fusion, blending Southern fried chicken, Mexican pastry, and a touch of tequila magic for a taste experience unlike anything you’ve ever had.
Extra Delights from the Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Championship Lineup
The Championship Lineup doesn’t stop with the show-stopping sandwich. Because no game day is complete without wings, Popeyes is also introducing the Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic 3-Piece Wings. These aren’t your average wings – they’re infused with the same premium Don Julio Reposado tequila flavor and tossed in a rich Louisiana garlic sauce, promising a bold and savory experience.
And to complete the perfect game-day feast, Popeyes is offering a refreshing Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus Flavored Lemonade Mocktail. This vibrant drink provides a sweet and spicy counterpoint to the rich flavors of the sandwich and wings, making the Championship Lineup a true culinary knockout.
