Popeyes is giving its wings a makeover—and fans are buzzing
- Replies 0
Popeyes has confirmed that it is revamping its wings menu just in time for tailgating season. Customers nationwide will see both returning favorites and brand-new flavors on the menu.
The popular chicken chain, which became a household name during the chicken sandwich wars, is now shifting focus back to one of its core items.
Each option begins with a mild marinated base, letting fans decide how spicy or flavorful they want their wings to be.
The new lineup features Signature Hot, Sweet ‘N Spicy, and Honey BBQ making their return. At the same time, Popeyes has added Ghost Pepper, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Parm, and Buffalo as brand-new dry rubs.
The combination offers something for everyone, from fiery heat to classic flavors. Even Garlic Parm, a flavor not typically at the forefront, has been called surprisingly delicious and versatile.
This relaunch has been strategically timed to coincide with football and tailgating season, when wings are in high demand.
Popeyes highlighted that its mix of saucy and dry rub options gives fans plenty of variety. Signature Hot continues to be one of the boldest and most popular choices, often paired with sides like mashed potatoes and gravy.
Meanwhile, the addition of Ghost Pepper brings with it a level of heat and intensity that stands out as one of the boldest and most daring flavor experiences Popeyes has ever chosen to put on its menu.
To further amplify interest and generate buzz around the release, Popeyes has teamed up with quarterback Baker Mayfield in a promotion designed to capture attention well beyond just its regular customer base.

Starting September 4, whenever Mayfield scores a touchdown, customers will be eligible for free wings.
The deal offers a six-piece wings order free with any $10 or more digital purchase made the following Monday.
The company has named the campaign “Better Wings, Better Mayfield” to emphasize the connection between upgraded wings and gameday excitement.

Mayfield shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration in a public statement. “I’ve been a fan of Popeyes for a long time, so teaming up for the ‘Better Wings, Better Mayfield’ campaign was a no-brainer,” he said.
“We had a blast recreating some of my old moves, celebrating comebacks and diving into these new wings. Popeyes leveled up their wings, and now fans can level up their game days too—with free wings every time I score a touchdown.”
