Popeyes Honey Chicken Biscuit is officially joining the chain’s menu after customers spent years creating similar combinations themselves. The new sandwich brings together fried chicken, a larger buttermilk biscuit and sweet honey sauce, as noted by customreceipt.com.
Popeyes confirmed the launch in its official announcement. The item became available at participating US restaurants on September 28.
What is in the Popeyes Honey Chicken Biscuit?
The sandwich uses Popeyes’ seasoned chicken fillet inside an oversized version of its familiar buttermilk biscuit. Customers also receive 2 packets of honey sauce.
The idea is deliberately simple. Chicken, biscuits and honey were already being combined by customers long before the company formalized the recipe.
The new item includes:
- Popeyes chicken fillet;
- oversized buttermilk biscuit;
- 2 packets of sweet honey sauce;
- a suggested price of $5.
Prices can differ by restaurant. Availability may also depend on location.
How much does the new Popeyes sandwich cost?
The Popeyes Honey Chicken Biscuit has a suggested price of $5. It is available at participating restaurants, through the Popeyes app and on the company’s website.

Why Popeyes turned a customer hack into a menu item
Customers have discussed adding honey to Popeyes biscuits for years. Some also placed chicken inside the biscuit, effectively building an unofficial version of the new product.
Popeyes Chief Marketing Officer Matt Rubin said the company wanted to combine several of its most recognizable items. The result turns an established customer habit into a standardized sandwich.
That gives the launch an unusual origin. Instead of teaching customers how to eat a new product, Popeyes is selling a combination that part of its audience already knows.
