Popeyes is giving away Chicken Wraps—here’s how to get one​


From July 10 through July 13, Popeyes is offering a free Chicken Wrap with any purchase of $5 or more at participating locations across the US.

The offer applies whether you order in-store, online, through the app, or by delivery—so it’s easy to take advantage of wherever you are.

As long as your order hits that $5 mark (before tax), you can add a wrap to your cart and enjoy it for free.

Think of it as a tasty little reward with your meal, especially if you're already craving some Cajun fries or a biscuit on the side!

What’s in the new Popeyes Chicken Wrap?​


The wrap itself is Popeyes’ take on a nostalgic favorite, featuring a hand-breaded chicken tender inside a 9-inch biscuit-inspired tortilla.

It’s filled with lettuce, shredded cheese, and crunchy pickles, and you can choose from classic, spicy, or honey mustard sauce for that perfect finishing touch.

It’s hearty enough for a light meal and easy to enjoy on the go—ideal for road trips, errands, or just relaxing at home with something delicious in hand.

The "Wrap Wars" are heating up​


What makes this deal even juicier?

The timing. Popeyes launched its wraps in early June, but McDonald’s is relaunching their snack wraps on July 10—the same day Popeyes starts its giveaway.

It’s led to some playful fast food banter, with Popeyes poking fun at McDonald’s online and calling out their “late” entry into what it’s dubbed the “Wrap Wars.”

A cheeky social media post reading, “...Y’all good?” had fans laughing—and picking sides.

Why are snack wraps suddenly everywhere?​


For many, snack wraps hit the sweet spot between convenience, comfort, and nostalgia.

They’re portable, satisfying, and bring back memories of fast food menus from years past.

With McDonald’s and Popeyes now in the mix—and other chains like Sonic and Burger King rolling out their own summer specials—wraps seem to be having a true comeback moment.

And in an age of over-the-top food trends, this simple favorite feels just right.
