Chicken Waffle Tenders

What is it?

Crispy chicken tenders sit on a warm, grid-patterned waffle and get finished with maple syrup. It's a fast-food take on chicken and waffles, built from Popeyes' seasoned fried chicken and a sweet breakfast-style base. Waffle gives you a soft, slightly springy surface, while the tenders bring a crackly coating and a juicier center. Popeyes has also played with chicken in sandwich and strip formats, but this one leans harder into breakfast. Syrup isn't mixed in, so it stays separate in the waffle pockets and on the chicken, which keeps each bite split between sweet and savory.
