The Popeyes Honey Chicken Biscuit is a new nationwide menu item that stacks Popeyes’ signature fried chicken on an oversized buttermilk biscuit with two sachets of sweet honey sauce, priced at $5 and available starting September 28, 2026. The sandwich is Popeyes’ latest attempt to turn a fan-made combination — chicken, biscuit and honey eaten together — into an official menu item.
What’s In the Popeyes Honey Chicken Biscuit
According to Popeyes’ official announcement, the sandwich pairs “THAT Chicken from Popeyes” with a larger version of the chain’s iconic buttermilk biscuit and two packets of sweet honey sauce. The company describes it as a “simple, yet bold innovation,” built around textures the brand says its fans were already combining themselves at the table and on social media.
“At Popeyes, quality and bold flavor guide everything we do, and we’re always looking for new ways to bring our most iconic items together,” said Matt Rubin, Popeyes Chief Marketing Officer, in the company’s release. “The Honey Chicken Biscuit is exactly that: our craveable chicken, our iconic buttermilk biscuit, and sweet honey sauce, crafted into one new sandwich.”
The launch ties into “THAT Chicken from Popeyes,” the brand’s national ad campaign built around its fried chicken. Readers who like the sweet-and-savory combination can also try our Easy Hot Honey Sauce Recipe at home.

Is This Common?
Chicken-and-biscuit mashups are a recurring move for fried chicken chains looking to combine existing menu staples into a new SKU without building an entirely new product line. Popeyes has leaned on similar “menu remix” launches before, and the approach lets the brand generate news coverage and social buzz with comparatively low development cost. The $5 price point also places it squarely in the value-meal range that quick-service chains have prioritized throughout 2026.
Quick Questions
Is the Honey Chicken Biscuit a permanent menu item or limited-time only?
Popeyes’ announcement describes it as a new sandwich launch without a stated end date, positioning it as a standard menu addition rather than a limited-time offer.

Popeyes’ release describes the sandwich using “THAT Chicken from Popeyes,” the brand’s classic fried chicken; the announcement does not mention a spicy variant.
