Popeyes Has a New Tequila-Infused Menu For The Super Bowl

Super Bowl LIX is, hands down, one of the biggest nights of the year for foodies and football fans alike. While the commercials and performances are entertaining, and, of course, there is a football game happening, game day food arguably has the biggest play on Super Bowl Sunday. With classic appetizers such as wings and dips, a variety of delicious cocktails, and mainstay dishes such as pizza and chili, everybody wins on game day when it comes to the eats. Plus, in addition to plenty of Super Bowl deals and freebies, many fast food chains and restaurants get in on the game day fun with their own Super Bowl specials — and Popeyes Chicken is no exception. 

What is the Popeyes tequila-inspired Super Bowl menu?

To celebrate this year’s Super Bowl, tequila brand Don Julio and fried chicken chain Popeyes are joining forces for a unique collaboration inspired by both brands, while also paying homage to Super Bowl LIX’s host-city. The two brands are releasing a limited-edition menu dubbed the “Championship Lineup”, which includes items that fuse the heritage of Popeyes’ Louisiana-style cooking with the bold flavors of Don Julio’s Tequila Resposado. 

What items are on the Popeyes Tequila Don Julio menu for the Super Bowl?

The Championship Lineup menu features bold and innovative dishes that not only honor the city of NOLA, but are also the perfect way to add some hype to game day. First, the Concha Roll Chicken Sandwich features a classic Popeyes chicken breast fillet, which is marinated in Don Julio’s reposado tequila then fried in Popeyes’ signature buttermilk breading. The tequila-fried chicken is then topped with tequila lime slaw and pickles, and then finished with a spicy spread on the bun. Plus, as another nod to Don Julio, the chicken is sandwiched between a Concha roll, a known Mexican pastry. 

The limited-edition Super Bowl menu also includes the Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic Wings. These chicken wings, which are available as a three-piece, are hand-breaded in Popeyes signature buttermilk breading, which is then tossed in garlic and paired with a tequila-infused sauce. 

To wash it all down, the Popeye’s x Don Julio menu features a Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade Mocktail made with strawberry and hibiscus flavored lemonade. While there’s no Don Julio tequila in the drink, the flavors are reminiscent of a delicious, fruity, spicy marg. 

When is the Don Julio x Popeyes tequila-infused menu available?

Since the menu is limited-edition, the Championship Lineup is available for one day only: January 31. These three items will also only be served at six select Popeyes restaurants across America, including two Popeyes spots in New York City. The other locations include Miami, New Orleans, and the hometowns of the Super Bowl teams, Philadelphia and Kansas City. These lucky locations will have the chance to get a first taste of what’s coming to New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend.

If you don’t live near one of the limited locations but are traveling to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, you’ll still have the chance to try the exclusive menu. From January 31 through February 9 (aka Game Day), the Don Julio x Popeyes Championship Lineup will be available at the  flagship Popeyes restaurant on Canal Street in NOLA, while supplies last. 

Is there a Popeyes Super Bowl deal?

If you can’t make it to NOLA but still want in on the Popeyes fun for Super Bowl LIX, you can score a deal via UberEats. Now through February 9, UberEats customers can buy one chicken sandwich and get another one for free when ordering Popeyes through the app. Plus, customers are also able to redeem $5 off of their choice of Tequila Don Julio, Popeyes Chicken Sandwiches, and Popeyes Wings.
