Here’s How To Get Free Wings At Popeyes

School is about to be in session, and you know what that means — Football. Whether in the bleachers, on the field or at home, football has a way of bringing people together all rooting for a team and sharing wonderful food. What perfectly pairs with college football? Chips and a good dip, pizza, burgers, the list goes on. But the only right answer is chicken wings. Your football watch party isn’t complete without a plate of chicken wings, especially when it comes to the Super Bowl. Though the Super Bowl isn’t until next year, the start of the NFL basically means the long-awaited game is just around the corner. To celebrate this football season, Popeyes has an exclusive offer for its rewards members: free chicken wings. This isn’t just to celebrate the upcoming NFL season, but goes hand-in-hand with the chicken fast food chain’s new chicken wing flavor announcement. 

How to get free wings at Popeyes?

Chicken wing lovers just need to order through the app. From August 26 to September 8, rewards members will be getting a free six-piece chicken wings order with a $10 minimum purchase on Popeyes’ app. 

The six-piece deal is pretty exclusive, as in, it’s only available to all of you rewards members, so sign up today if you have not already. Anyone can download the fast food chain’s app. On the app, click or tap on “Join now” to become a rewards member. Another option is through the website, go to Popeyes.com, click “Sign-Up,” and register for an account. 

Why does Popeyes have free wings?

This freebie is in celebration of Popeye’s latest flavor: Sweet ‘N Smokey Chipotle. The latest addition to Popeyes flavor lineup, the chicken wing is covered in chillies with the heat being balanced with a drizzle of honey.

Popeye’s current lineup of flavors is Honey BBQ, Roasted Garlic Parmesan, Signature Hot, Ghost Pepper, Honey Lemon Pepper and Sweet’ N Spicy. But there are still some new menu items to try. In the early part of the summer, Popeyes released its first set of boneless chicken wings in all your favorite flavors. If you have not had time to try the boneless chicken wings — now is the perfect time. 

The Sweet ‘N Smokey Chipotle flavor is set to release on Monday, August 26 at all participating restaurants nationwide. But that is not all because you can try them for free with the football deal. 

Popeyes isn’t shy when it comes to football. At the start of the new year, Popeyes started its Wings for Wings deal for the Super Bowl. The deal, or speculation, involved giving away free six-piece meals if a team with wings won the Super Bowl LVIII. This meant any team from Philly, Baltimore, or even Buffalo (for buffalo chicken wings, of course).

Because what is football, without chicken wings?
