American restaurant brand Popeyes has announced the introduction of two new buffalo-flavoured menu items in Canada.
The Buffalo Crispy Chicken Wrap and Loaded Buffalo Poutine have been launched for a limited period.
The Buffalo Crispy Chicken Wrap is a new take on the Crispy Chicken Wrap introduced in July 2023.
It combines crispy chicken tenders in buffalo sauce in a soft tortilla with lettuce and tomato.
Complementing the wrap is the Loaded Buffalo Poutine. It features crispy chicken nuggets tossed in buffalo sauce on top of the existing poutine [a dish of French fries and cheese curds].
Popeyes Canada general manager Rob Manuel said: “Canadians are not shy about flavour, and so we’re thrilled to offer them a new way to spice things up at lunch and dinner with the big, bold taste of Buffalo.

By GlobalData“While we of course can’t wait for guests to taste test this new take on our popular Crispy Chicken Wrap, I’m most excited about the Loaded Buffalo Poutine. It’s the perfect addition to this Canadian-exclusive launch.”
In March 2023 Popeyes unveiled Honey Lemon Pepper Wings, a limited-time product that blended sweet, tangy and peppery notes.
The wings were initially available exclusively via the brand’s app and website from 19 to 31 March, followed by a nationwide release in restaurants from 1 April.
In January 2024, the restaurant chain announced plans to double its UK footprint by opening an additional 30 outlets during the year.
The brand, which made its UK debut in November 2021, currently has 36 locations, including five drive-throughs and seven delivery kitchens. By the end of 2024, it aims to increase its number in the country to more than 60.
