POPEYES® AND TEQUILA DON JULIO LAUNCH “THE CHAMPIONSHIP LINEUP” - A LIMITED EDITION MENU FOR FOOTBALL’S BIG GAME

New Orleans, LA – [January 28, 2025] – Popeyes®, the Official Wing of Watching Football, and Tequila Don Julio, the Official Tequila of the Big Game, are serving up a one-of-a-kind culinary mashup leading up to this year’s Big Game in New Orleans, home of Popeyes, with the release of the exclusive Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Championship Lineup menu. Available for a limited time only, while supplies last, in six select restaurants for customers 21+, the menu combines the rich heritage of Popeyes’ Louisiana-style cooking with the bold flavors of Tequila Don Julio Reposado - a tribute to craftsmanship and iconic celebrations.

The headliner is the new Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Concha Chicken Sandwich, a chicken breast fillet marinated in reposado tequila then fried in Popeyes crunchy buttermilk breading, topped with a tequila lime slaw, spicy spread, a barrel cured pickle, and sandwiched between a sweet and buttery concha roll - a beloved Mexican pastry. The sandwich is a true fusion of flavors between the savory crunch of Popeyes chicken balanced by the sweetness of the concha roll and the subtle kick of reposado tequila’s signature agave notes. Additional items featured on the menu include Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic 3-Piece Wings with a specialty sauce and a Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus Flavored Lemonade Mocktail.
