The Popeyes in London is so bland in comparison to the Popeyes state side. I was so excited to try it here, but it was underwhelming, maybe because the U.K. is strict on additives and stuff 🤷🏾‍♀️

Damn I wanna try it even more now. I have a popeyes chicken sandwhich Christmas sweater. Im a big fan lol

I've been saying for so long that scones and biscuits are nothing alike, now they may finally be understood. Also, the spicy sandwich is even better in my opinion, a must try.

As an American who got one of their sandwiches early on, I held my breath to see your reaction. I'm SO glad you enjoyed this taste of Louisiana! And yes, it's 100% true that there were fights over them running out with many locations requiring cops to help with traffic/crowd control when it first rolled out. TBH, I can't imagine driving AND taking a train AND queuing up for 30 minutes for it since there's a Popeyes that's only a 10 minute walk away with, at most, a 10 minute wait inside. I was disappointed you didn't get any sides with it, though! Red beans & rice, cajun fries, or their mashed potatoes and gravy are worth a second visit. Also, be sure to ask for packets of Cajun Sparkle seasoning, especially since you like spicy.

[@urbanurchin5930]

!!! .... Yes !! .... the Cajun Sparkle is a MUST HAVE ! Other videos have said that the red beans & rice are not ( yet ) available in the U.K. Maybe when more stores open.

[@amberdavis5444]

I've watched this video like 5 times lol. I just love it! Making me crave some Popeyes right now, but the one close to me always has a super long line. Kabir, I would love to see a part 2! You must try the fries, red beans and rice, whole chicken pieces, sweet tea, Mac and cheese, fried shrimp, and gravy 🤤

[@kabirconsiders]

A part two is definitely on the way :)

[@ginao8935]

Oh my. There is a secret at Popeyes. The next time you go ask for some Cajun Sparkle. They keep it behind the counter. They will give you some packets and then just sprinkle it on your chicken or fries

[@cocoapeach]

Cajun sparkle is the TRUTH! I keep packets in my desk drawer at work lol. I wish they sold it in a bottle ha ha.

[@missife1]

[@rodessaallen3687]

I love Cajun sparkle! I add it to my potatoes and put it on my chicken! Sooooo good!

[@Onibushou]

I usually split the biscuit (horizontally) and put some honey on it, but it seems pretty accurate otherwise. Did they have the Cajun fries or red beans and rice? The seasoning on the fries is great, really sets them apart from most fast food places. Its the only place I know of that really does red beans and rice, which is a pretty nice option as well.

[@franciebennett9734]

Love those fries!

[@rich_t]

Damn, I literally told him the same thing about the biscuit before reading your comment.😂

[@josephsoto9933]

Now imagine how more hot & crispy the pieces would be had they not been kept wrapped during transit. It's OK, but that goes for everything. But its a start and point of reference.

[@zombieape6177]

Yessss

[@lucydean4028]

Bo Jangles...it's actually better if it's possible. Great chicken, red beans and rice, dirty rice, collard greens. If you are you are looking for southern style fast food...it's the best.

[@bamachine]

The sauce on the sandwich is a remoulade sauce, a staple of Cajun/French cooking. If they have them, you should definitely get the red beans and rice side dish. Not as good as homemade red beans and rice but some of the best you will ever find in a fast food type place. Now you have finally had what we call a biscuit(savory thicker bread product) vs what we call a scone(slightly sweet, airy bread product) vs a cookie(sweet, thin bread product).

[@picmajik]

Having grown up on red beans and rice I agree. I was so happy that any fast food had them and they are tasty.

[@jimmoran973]

@@picmajik One of the things that sets Popeyes apart is the sides. Fries are great, red beans and rice plus good slaw and Mac and Cheeze.

[@addictedtothewrittenword3451]

I had a Popeyes chicken sandwich yesterday and suddenly remembered your channel and wondered if you tried it yet, glad to see you have! It makes me laugh every time someone from England calls a chicken sandwich a chicken burger. To me a chicken burger are made from ground chicken meat and not breaded. My soul left my body to see you eat that biscuit with nothing to drink nearby. Please never eat a Popeyes biscuit without immediately drinking liquid, jk, but it is better with honey or jam. Try the red beans and rice next time, it's not the best red beans and rice ever, but it still good.

I lived in the Stratford area for two months while working the Olympics in 2012 and haven't had a chance to get back. I really miss it way more than I thought I would. If you like spicy chicken, you need to make a trip to Hattie B's Nashville Hot Chicken. There are locations in Nashville, Tennessee (the original), Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia.

Great review, as always. But damn, I was hoping Kabir was going to get the chicken that Popeye's is famous for: just plain ol' chicken breasts and drumsticks - spicy, please and thank you! He also really should've gotten some of their famous red beans & rice. Oh, and a couple of jalapenos. And packets of Louisiana hot sauce. Put some of the sauce and squeeze some jalapeno juice right into the little tub of red beans & rice, and spread it over the biscuit halves. Deee-lish! I am very fortunate to have a Popeyes restaurant / drive-thru only 4 miles (6.44 km) from my home. I go there all the time, and it's always a bargain, even today.

[@urbanurchin5930]

The best way to enjoy the tenders : ask for a couple packets of Cajun Sparkle (they should give a couple sachets for free), sprinkle the contents of the packets into your bag of tenders and shake gently to coat the tenders. My favorite sauce for tenders is the Mardi Gras Mustard ( I love horseradish ) but BBQ sauce is a close second. The Cajun Sparkle will add another layer of spice to the already tasty tenders ! Hope they get the red beans & rice soon in the U.K.

Popeyes is easily in my top 3 chicken places, because of the batter they use. When the chicken is done its so buttery. I usually get the chicken nuggets (They recently brought them back) with cajun fries, and a biscuit (yours is like what we have here). My favorite sauce they have is the Blackened Ranch. My boyfriend likes to dip his tenders into their mashed potatoes. I'm not a fan of their mashed potatoes, but it's a great idea!

[@danielleporter1829]

Popeyes' biscuits are so good, they're extra good with honey. There's a Popeye's 5 minutes away from me. Popeyes' is also known for it's desserts and popcorn shrimp (prawns) basket . Ah yes, the fights that broke out during the Great chicken sandwich wars of 2018. Besides Popeyes, there're KFC and Chick FIL la right across the street from me along with burger King, McDonald's, El Pollo Loco ( the crazy chicken in Spanish) EPL is known for its flame broiled , citrus 🍋 marinaded chicken 🐓 , the founder of the company was originally from Mexico 🇲🇽 and used his mother's recipe.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Those chicken tenders were actually small to moderately sized. In the US they typically run at least a third to a half again as big as those. The biscuit looked a little thin to me. They're a but more fluffy here. It's like they didn't use enough yeast with yours. Oh, the Deluxe version of the sandwich in the US usually has tomato on them as well. And that goes for for chicken sandwiches across most fast food chains. Burger King had a damn good chicken sandwich this year called the Ch'King, and it was even better than their previous sandwich. I think it had a special sauce on it or something, but it was pretty tasty. But on a side note, your use of the word "Burger" only applies to Hamburgers here in the States, kinda for obvious reasons. Everything else is just a sandwich. This weird naming convention kinda reminds me of my Filipino ex-girlfriend who thought us Americans only ate Burgers and Pizza. So if she thought that every sandwich was a burger, then I guess that explains that. 😄

[@veronicadabney1466]

You don't use yeast in biscuits, you use baking powder. Just a little bit of a hint.

[@leahsunbury9639]

I love their mashed potatoes and gravy. I could drink that gravy! I can't believe you didn't get any! 😲 Next time, put some butter and maybe some honey on that biscuit. You won't regret it.

2 breasts, spicy, cajun rice with some of the gravy on it (after the take over most of the stores stopped doing that for me so if the rice looks a bit too dry I'll get the mashed potatoes and gravy) and a Coke was a standard lunch for me when I lived in Louisiana. They have come down a notch since being taken from Al Copeland, but they are still the best chicken place to me. I do like the tenders as well, but I prefer the skin. Back in the day, every order came with at least one biscuit. Prefer mine hot, fresh, and with lots of butter.

Popeyes is my favorite fast food chicken place. I always get the spicy option. I love the American version of the BBQ sauce (I'm assuming you're getting the same there). You missed one of the best things about Popeyes--THE SIDE DISHES. They have a version of Cole Slaw that I like (some complain that it's too sweet). My favorites are Red Beans & Rice (but some don't like it), and a discontinued item called Cajun Rice. It was very popular so I don't understand why they replaced. Of course they have Cajun Fries and Mashed Potatoes. I usually get the 3 piece meal that comes with a biscuit and a side item. Maybe when they become more established in the UK they will add the limited edition items like Cajun Shrimp, Crawfish, Etoufee.

Hey Kabir, I thought of some videos that no one else has reacted to. Not sure you would be interested in them, but they are really entertaining. They are airline traffic control conversations between pilots and the ground control. The ones you want to watch are of “Kennedy Steve.” They are audio only.

I swear, i get so delighted watching you eat! You're so funny, and i can appreciate the fact that you love your food!! Cheers!!! From across the pond, Kentucky, USA❤️❤️⭐⭐

The great thing about having Popeyes leftovers is that they still taste good for a few more days. So many chicken places, their chicken starts tasting "off" by the next day. Or even by the time it turns cold the same day you buy it. Biscuit quality seems to very hit-and-miss, depending on where you buy them. I was becoming very disappointed with the biscuits in my area one summer, and wondered if it was happening in the entire chain. Then on vacation to the Ozarks I picked up some dinner at a Popeyes in Little Rock, Arkansas, and my faith in their biscuits was gloriously restored. In college I participated in a student filmmaking project, which was a music video. It was very hot outside, and the soundstage did not seem to have any air conditioning. They actually had to start re-doing the makeup for some of us, while we were in an extended holding pattern waiting for the "star" of the project to arrive (she was filming a game show appearance, as a contestant, I believe). Anyway, after hours of waiting, and then dancing through our choreography from one angle, and then from another angle, section-of-song by section-of-song, and whatever else was required, we took a break while the director and his assistants reviewed what they had filmed and decided what else they wanted. It was already dark out, getting late, so a couple of assistants ran out to Popeyes and the nearby market, and brought back a load of chicken and apples to feed us. We stood outside the soundstage in the heat of the Los Angeles night, relishing every bite of that unexpected dinner, being careful not to mess up our makeup or costumes with chicken grease!

Kabir, thanks for doing this. I love Popeyes! It's my favorite fried chicken chain period! Although I will have to say as a fried chicken sandwich I think Chick-Fil-A is the best and for biscuits, Church's Chicken is the best! Their biscuits are glazed with honey!

[@TexasRose50]

Thanks for mentioning Church’s chicken. I like it the best. And it’s just up the street from me. We don’t have a Popeyes. And I preferred church’s over kfc

[@theresakeith5854]

I love Church's chicken

[@candacelong7643]

Absolutely agree. Chick-Fil-A has the best chicken sandwiches. I wasn’t a fan of Popeyes and that’s my favorite fried chicken place. Popeyes has the best chicken though and their fries remind me of a watered down Checkers fries (still really good) and the red beans and rice is awesome too. My go to choices when ordering. Once you have Popeyes it’s hard to really like Church’s chicken.

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

No Chic-Fil-a ever. I like my fast food w/o religious bigotry.

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

but Popeye’s is still not as good as Bojangles…which isn’t fair cause it’s only in 4 states of the US

[@colleenarmbruster7873]

American food is a conglomeration of all the world's people. And you biting into the chicken sandwich made my day!

[@walkerlocker6126]

Dude, I don't really watch food tasting videos because it isn't my thing, but I got such a surge of happiness watching you enjoy this. I'm American, and as far as the fast food world goes, Popeye's chicken sandwich is the magnum opus of chicken. Again, just in the fast food circle, but still. It's SO GOOD it's practically criminal, lol. I know this is an old video but still love the reaction.

[@halicarnassus834]

As an American whom has Louisana Ancestry from my Grandfather's side I feel sometimes ashamed that I could never handle Spicy Cajun/Creole . I prefer mild. I dont care much fir my "lips biting back" at me with the spicyness lol.

[@invisigoth510]

My favorite is their spicy deluxe chicken sandwich Always go spicy at Popeyes when you have the option

[@aliwantizu]

I tend to eat the chicken tenders without the sauce unless they're dry, and I use the dipping sauce on the biscuit because it's usually dry by the time I get home to eat it, so the sauce helps. Glad you found out about the glory that is Popeye's chicken! ~Be Blessed

[@MrRavager420]

the biscuits are so good because they're literally painted with liquid butter...so good

[@LilSk1tty]

since when does popeyes have a delux???? LOL. Mine doesnt (edit: AND YOU HAVE HOT WINGS???? WTFFFF))

I’ve been ordering the 3 wing combo (spicy) from Popeyes for years and I’m in Texas.

[@TheNeonParadox]

Damn, that line is crazy for Popeye's. That's the kind of line I expect from Chipotle, which is almost constantly out the door.

[@msbrandymo]

It's always like that at ANY Popeye's in metro New Orleans- regardless the lines are always long.

[@johnbernstein7887]

Chipotle is a terrible example of a true Mission Style burrito. Wouldn't touch it. But I live in the Home of the Mission Burrito and reserve my chimichangas for Tucson Az. Can't get a decent Chimi here. Don't come to the Bay Area if you want to still like Chipotle.

[@nikkinicol78]

Is it strange enjoying watching Kabir eat so much?

[@mattscoggins]

FINALLY a video where you eat tasty food when hungry, as opposed to watching videos of them! lol All those tortuous moments seem worth it for this shining beacon of light! Definitely try them when you next visit the States!

[@royhorn2782]

You missed out on red beans and rice, the best thing at Popeye's. But, Popeye's is definitely better than a lot of chicken places.

[@kabirconsiders]

I’ll get it next time I’m there!

[@connorfallon4227]

Man now you’re in the big leagues Kabir. Popeyes is pretty yummy. I love the spicy chicken with white and dark meat and the mac and cheese. Sooo good.

[@johnbernstein7887]

The Mac And Cheese sucks, but I don't do stovetop.

[@arisucheddar3097]

@@johnbernstein7887 thank you. I don't think it's that it's prefab to me. The issue is the oil. I didn't enjoy the taste, and kind of stirred the Mac around, and there was literally orangey yellowish oil in the bottom. That's... not supposed to be in there.

[@johnbernstein7887]

@@arisucheddar3097 Nope, Fat mixed with Flour to make a roux doesn't do that. That's why I bake Mac & Cheese. Problem with being a chef is you won't take shortcuts that don't make sense. Once you've baked a Mac and Cheese the right way you don't go back. It's too damn good!

As an American who has eaten Popeye's Fried Chicken for years, it puts a smile on my face to see British people enjoy Popeye's for the first time! It's like seeing someone lose his/her virginity.

[@laurataylor8717]

I have been so excited for this ever since you posted about going to Popeyes for this video! Popeyes is so good!!

Not me eating a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich while watching this lol

Ok here’s the hack Kabir. Get the Popeyes chicken sandwich, kfc coleslaw and chic fil a Polynesian sauce,put it all on the chicken sandwich and have a food party in ur mouth.😆🤤🤤

[@kathleenshepard5887]

Good food is something all people appreciate and brings us all together. I love watching non-American folks enjoy our food and I’d love to try British food! God Bless you, and happy eating!

[@JenABlue-ed1bw]

I can't have stuff like Popeyes for the next few months because medical reasons, so seeing you enjoy it so much is giving me LIFE

[@stacyinmsstacy5893]

Being from the south in South Mississippi I'm glad y'all can get a taste of what we eat and make down here. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Try the side dishes with it as well. We put jelly or honey on the biscuits. My favorite sauce is the sweet heat

Yessss MS in the houseee 🥰🌺

Popeyes’s the best Fries Chicken! When you eat the biscuit you need to split it add some butter and honey. Don’t forget the Honey. I love watching you enjoying your food. Also Love your channel!

[@kabirconsiders]

Thanks so much Jeannine :)

[@emhutch25]

Kabir, I am American, but I had never tried a Popyes chicken sandwich because I thought "Now really. How good can a fast food chicken sandwich be?" But I saw your video and decided I should try it. OMG it really is THAT good.!!!
