How to make frozen chicken
Have you forgotten to take out the chicken? Don’t worry. Here’s how to cook chicken from frozen:
Popeyes is adding new ways for customers to enjoy fried chicken.
According to a news release, the fast food chain introduced chicken wraps to its menu on Monday, June 2nd, with the announcement that “the coveted flavor of peaupae is wrapped and ready to be wrapped everywhere.”
The wrap features a bid for Popeye’s hand-rolled chicken with crispy lettuce, fine cheese and crispy pickles, all in a warm tortilla inspired by the flavor of Popeye es biscuits. The new item costs $3.99 and is available with a choice of classic, spicy or honey mustard spreads.
In addition to wraps, Popeyes is also adding a new lineup of blueberry lemonade and tea drinks. The lineup includes blueberry lemonade, allowing customers to chill or freeze, or eat sweet blueberry cane tea and unsweetened blueberry tea.
Lap and drinks will be available for limited use at participating Paw Paw Paw Pa’s restaurants nationwide from June 2nd.
“We used a new chicken wrap to take the iconic chicken bid, wrapped in something entirely new, bringing all the craving-prone crunch in a fresh, portable way,” Amy Allacon, Vice President of Culinary Innovation at Popays, said in a news release. “We wanted to make a chicken wrap, which is undoubtedly Popeyeus. Infusing the flavors into the wrap from the famous biscuits was a great way to ensure that the flavors in the signature were shining.”
McDonald’s snack wraps returning in 2025
The much-anticipated chicken wrap has returned to the menu at another fast food chain at one point this year. McDonald’s hasn’t spilled an exact date yet, but snack wraps may come soon.
McDonald’s US President Joe Arlinger confirmed that his fan-favorite menu item will make a comeback in 2025 on “Good Morning America” in December 2024. Last month, the chain’s social media accounts shared another clue to the official return date for the rap.
On April 15, McDonald’s official X account posted “Snack Wrap 0x.14.2025” and teased that menu items would return to the 14th day of an unspecified month. However, “0x” indicates that it should come before October when the first number is reversed to 1.
“Snack wraps are back in 2025,” Erlinger told Good Morning America in December 2024. Erlinger refused to reveal exactly whether the snack wrap would return because of what he called “competitive reasons.”
In February 2025, CEO Christopher Kempczynski said there was “incredible energy” in the return of snack wraps in the US when discussing McDonald’s plans and fourth quarter financial performance with investment analysts.
