The Louisiana-style chain is built on hand-battered fried chicken: the famous sandwich, Tenders, bone-in pieces, and boneless wings. Build your combo below to see where the calories land.

How to Cut Calories at Popeyes

  • ✓Order the chicken sandwich on its own, or split the combo; the fries, biscuit, and drink can nearly double it.
  • ✓Skip the biscuit or swap it. A single biscuit adds a few hundred calories of butter and flour.
  • ✓Choose the blackened tenders (not fried) when they're available for a much lighter protein.
  • ✓Go easy on the dipping sauces; Bayou Buffalo, ranch, and the sweet sauces each add calories on top.
  • ✓Pick a smaller drink or unsweetened tea, since the sweet tea and sodas add sugar calories fast.
