Popeyes returns 'sold out' chicken sandwiches to menu

Popeyes is announcing the return of its popular chicken sandwich by resuming its online “feud” with Chick-fil-A.

The sandwich, which sold out in two weeks over the summer, will be available again — permanently — beginning Sunday, Nov. 3.

Chick-fil-A outlets are closed on Sundays, a fact Popeyes notes with a humorous video jab.

Popeyes promised via Twitter that the sandwich soon would return “for good.”

Y’all. We love that you love The Sandwich. Unfortunately we’re sold out (for now). pic.twitter.com/Askp7aH5Rr

Traffic jams could occur, some fear.

Apparently Popeyes is aware of the need to “staff up” to meet the expected demand.

Popeyes says it will hire more staff to deal with the return of the Spicy Chicken Sandwich https://t.co/FXMFpYzI8c

Maybe don’t make any international travel plans.

You mean to tell me that they’re bringing the Popeyes sandwich back as soon as I leave the country again?!? pic.twitter.com/DP4bxo3Tjp
