That’s right, people… Just make your own chicken sandwich.
It’ll be good. Trust me.
It’s not a complicated thing to make, and it’ll be done sooner than the time you spend lining up at Popeyes.
That’s what my poor husband and son did. Twice!
They went to two different locations, and both times they were confronted with a dozen cars ahead of them. (Quick, someone compile a list of things to do in a crowded drive-thru lane, please!)
By the time they reached the window, the chicken sandwiches were sold out.
That’s so not cool, Popeyes, so not cool! Seriously, your fried chicken is great and all, but to run out of chicken?!
Anyway, I made my men the consolation homemade chicken sandwiches.
They were great, honestly. And easy to put together. The only complication was the frying part.
If you’re not afraid of frying, let me know. I might just share my secret Cajun Chicken Strips recipe ?
P.S. Who wants to cohost next week?! Let me know, please!

They don’t have Popeyes of Chick-fil-a in the UK, so I’ve been reading about Popeye’s new sandwich with much envy.
Angie says
Oh, poor you! Maybe you should come visit ? Or make your own sandwich. It wasn’t hard, honestly, except for the frying.
Of Goats and Greens says
I might try making something like that with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. More flavor…
Angie says
That sounds like a great idea, Diann. Maybe I’ll do both breasts and thighs next time and do a comparison.
Of Goats and Greens says
Looking forward to co-hosting this week. Hello there Jhuls!!!
Angie says
Where is Jhuls??? She’s MIA ?
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
Hi, Angie and Diann.? I slept late or let me say that’s almost 1am and woke up early then took a power nap.?
I haven’t tried Popeye’s until now but I I think I really need to. The lines are not long, lucky me!?
Happy Fiesta Friday, ladies! ?
Angie says
Well, lucky you! And where’s this location, Jhuls? I think a lot of people want to know, lol. They’ve completely sold out over here. Let’s fiesta, sleepyhead ?

Of Goats and Greens says
I’m a little slow this week in visiting sites, but I have to say I am loving the variety of things and I know it is going to be hard to choose. AND I WILL. But it turned out TODAY is the closing on my old home (they said it was to be NEXT week) and there are so many, many loose ends to tie up, which are mostly being tied. So some of my responses may be brief, but I’ve been looking…
Angie says
No worries, Diann… I’ll take it from here ?
