Use Popeye's Chicken Nuggets to Make Awesome Homemade Chinese-American Food
I often find myself craving that crispy, saucy, glazed fried chicken that's ubiquitous on Chinese-American restaurant menus—the stuff used to make General Tso's, or Orange Chicken, or Sesame Chicken, or Americanized versions of Kung Pao Chicken. But frankly, the sauces and vegetables that come with most restaurant versions just ain't very good. Wouldn't it be great if I could just make this stuff for myself at home to suit my own tastes? Yes. The solution is picking up a couple boxes of chicken nuggets from Popeye's to use as the foundation.The Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken Sandwich?
In the fast food world, fried chicken sandwiches are the new black. Just about every chain, whether a burger chain or fried chicken establishment, offers multiple versions. But which are the best? We tried the standard fried chicken sandwiches, whether chicken patty-like or chicken fillet-like, from KFC, Popeye's, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, and Burger King. During the tasting, one thing became very clear: not all chicken is created equal.We Tried Popeye's Fried Crawfish Special
The last time I went to New Orleans, my buddy and I ate a pound of crawfish while sitting on the hood of his car. They're like little Southern lobsters: little red crustaceans with small, but deliciously meaty tails. Throughout the month of November, Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen is offering fried crawfish as their "Popeye's Crawfish Special," a limited-time promotion. (Today, November 3rd, they're offering a free taste of fried crawfish to anyone who walks in.)The Great Fast-Food Wings Taste Test
In preparation for the big game, we ordered a mess of wings from the big chains: Domino's, KFC, Popeyes, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's. Braving the threat of orange fingernails, we found the spiciest, the slimiest, the all-around most delicious, and the most edible blue cheese sauce for dunking.Grocery Eats Goes Off on Popeyes Chicken Biscuit
Photograph from Beer and Rap on Flickr SergDun of Grocery Eats completely goes off on the new Popeyes chicken biscuit sandwich. Warning: He curses up a storm in this post, so it's NSFW (if you have prying eyes reading your screen) and not suitable for delicate sensibilities. I know I'm not much better because I f****** paid them to do it but still this is a waste. Yeah it's good but they are charging you a service that could be completed with a plastic knife. I think it actually looks pretty good. Popeyes has great fried chicken and great biscuits. What's not to love? (Unless, of course, there's a mark-up for the assembly.)

Stay away from Roy Rogers' fried chicken. Far away. Last weekend I had the unfortunate experience of eating at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. While the obvious thing to do when having to make a decision between Nathan's, Arthur Treacher's, and Roy Rogers is to go hungry, I chose Roy Rogers. "It's fried chicken—how bad could it be?" I asked myself. Pretty bad, considering that I vowed to never eat at Roy Rogers again after that experience. If only there had been a Popeyes instead of Roy Rogers—then my New Jersey Turnpike meal would've been less loathsome.

Say goodbye to the ol' blue-and-red Popeyes logo, and feast your eyes on this revamped look for the fried chicken chain. Designed by Pentagram, the eye-popping orange and red color scheme with fleur-de-lis, symbolizing the chain's New Orleans hometown, is for the kids. Apparently, the younger generation considered the older logo "generic" and "tired." It kind of reminds me of the Burger King colors, but the black-and-white photos add a classy touch.
