Popeyes debuts two new menu items. When can you try them?
Popeyes newest menu items were made for dipping. Chicken dippers arrived at participating restaurants Monday, July 14, alongside a new signature sauce inspired by Popeyes' New Orleans roots, according to the Miami-based chicken chain. Customers can dunk the dippers — thin strips of white meat chicken battered in Popeyes' signature spice blend — in a sauce that blends 'the bold flavors of the Louisiana 'holy trinity;' bell pepper, celery, and onion,' Popeyes said in a news release. Prices start at $4.99 but may vary by location, according to the restaurant's website. 'We took our time developing it over the last five years, ensuring we landed on something undeniably Popeyes,' Chef Amy Alarcon, vice president of culinary innovation at Popeyes, said of the signature sauce. This 'is a monumental moment for our brand, and one we approached with care, knowing it had the potential to become an iconic part of our menu,' she said. The chicken dippers are available for a limited time, but the signature sauce is here to stay, according to Popeyes. It'll join classic dipping sauces including barbecue, blackened ranch and honey mustard. The dippers' debut comes at the heels of Popeyes latest menu innovation: chicken wraps. A first for the chicken chain, each 'grab-and-go style' wrap features a full-sized chicken tender, lettuce, cheese, pickles and customers' choice of sauce. Popeyes beat rival McDonald's to the punch, launching its wraps a day before the Golden Arches teased the highly anticipated return of its snack wrap. 'Infusing the flavors from our famous biscuit into our wraps was the perfect way to ensure our signature flavors shined through,' Alarcon said at the time. Find your nearest Popeyes here.

McDonald's new spicy breakfast items are here: How long they're available
McDonald's is unveiling a series of new options to help "spice up" its breakfast menu as part of the fast food chain's 50th anniversary celebrations for the McMuffin. The three new spicy breakfast menu items include the Spicy McMuffin, Spicy Sausage McMuffin and Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. The items will feature their traditional ingredients – cheese, egg, Canadian bacon or sausage and a buttered English muffin, topped with Spicy Pepper Sauce, according to a news release from McDonald's. The items are available beginning July 8 for a limited time at participating locations, according to the fast food chain. McDonald's launched the Egg McMuffin in 1975. The breakfast item was the brainchild of Herb Peterson, a McDonald's franchisee in Santa Barbara, California. Herb, according to previous USA TODAY reporting, presented the sandwich as a to-go version of a diner classic: Eggs Benedict. Roy Kroc, the businessman who transformed McDonald's into what it is today, loved the idea. The iconic fast food chain also has a new double burger on its menu: the Daily Double. The Daily Double, available now nationwide, is made with two beef patties, a slice of American cheese plus shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and two tomato slices. The burger had been available in limited markets including Chicago, Miami and Seattle, but will be available nationally through 2025, the company said. On July 22, the Daily Double will join McDonald's McValue Meal Deal options, served with a 4-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, small fries and small soft drink ($6 or $7; pricing depends on your restaurant). That menu still includes the $5 Meal Deal. The burger is now appearing in the McDonald's app, where you can also get deals including a free medium order of fries with a $1 purchase in the app every Friday through the end of 2025.
