- 3-Piece Chicken Tenders — hand-battered, crispy tenders.

How to Claim the Deal
- The Deal: Any of the five featured entrées above for $5 each — flat pricing, no bundling required.
- The Date: Live now through August 30, 2026 at participating Popeyes restaurants.
- The Platform: Available in-restaurant (counter or drive-thru) and on the Popeyes app under the "Offers" section.
- The Redemption: You have to explicitly ask for the $5 Faves price at the counter or drive-thru — it doesn't automatically apply. In the app, tap the "Offers" tab and add the eligible items from there to lock in the $5 price at checkout.
Fine Print & Level-Up Pro Tips
- Explicit request required in-restaurant — if you don't ask for the $5 Faves price, cashiers may ring up the item at the regular menu price. Always mention the promo by name.
- Entrées only — the $5 price covers the individual entrée; drinks and sides are not included by default. Build in a little budget for a drink or add a la carte side.
- The 8-Piece Butterfly Shrimp is the standout — 8 shrimp for $5 is one of the cheapest seafood plates in fast food right now. Try it before the promo ends.
- Sides and wraps rotate by location — the specific auxiliary items on the $5 tier can vary by market, so check the app's Offers section for what's live at your local Popeyes.
- Build a family meal for cheap: Stack a 3-Piece Signature Chicken + a 3-Piece Tenders + an 8-Piece Butterfly Shrimp — three entrées totaling $15 that easily feeds two people.
- Order in the app to avoid awkwardly asking at the counter, especially if the deal isn't posted at your local restaurant.
- More Ways to Save: Rotate through the Krystalpalooza Daily Deals Calendar (ends August 16), grab a Sonic Refreshers $2 off summer drink, or shop the Sam's Club Lunch for Less under $2.50. Full roundup: July 2026 Food Savings: Deals, Discounts & Freebies.
