Popeyes knows how to sweet talk us, and it typically includes a monstrous meal of fried chicken for deals you can't get with fast food competitors. Case in point: the beloved $6 Big Box—which oh yeah, BTW, is officially back when you order via the Popeyes website or mobile app, Brand Eating reports.
The chicken sandwich slinger's $6 Big Box includes two pieces of bone-in fried chicken, a choice of two regular sides, and a biscuit. As for the chicken itself, it is bestselling for a reason. The poultry is marinated in Popeyes' signature Louisiana-style seasoning, hand-battered, breaded, and fried for the perfect crunch.
The fast food giant has a wealth of sides to choose from, including coleslaw, Cajun fries, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. Considering the fact that the typical two-piece chicken meal at the restaurant costs $7 (with only one side) the deal is a bit of a steal.
Here's the bad news: the $6 Big Box is only joining online menus through December 31. The good news is you can celebrate the last days of 2022 chowing down on fried chicken while still getting a headstart on your 2023 budgeting resolution. It's a win, win.
