So far as my experiences go, my native Popeyes has been fairly beneficiant with their hen portioning for the common Rooster Sandwich and that carried over for the Blackened Rooster Sandwich as effectively. I principally obtained two small hen breast filets pressed collectively to make one huge one.
The blackened seasoning permeated the hen for an pleasant Cajun taste all through that was additionally pretty salty and mildly spicy (much less so than their Blackened Tenders it appeared). Texture-wise, the hen had a slight crispiness in some bites from being fried however was nonetheless moist inside.
The mayo was a bit extreme in my explicit sandwich–it was utilized to each the highest and backside buns and tended to squeeze out of the perimeters as I ate. It added a wealthy tang and creaminess that balanced out the saltiness of the hen.
The pickles supplied a more energizing crunch and a lighter bitter chew versus your normal quick meals pickles.
My explicit bun was overly browned (throughout baking?) and was a bit dry, which suggests it may need been sitting for some time. It was good for a barely richness and a smooth, ethereal texture however was springy quite than squishy.
Total, Popeyes Blackened Rooster Sandwich turned out very effectively in my ebook. The hen was filled with a particular and engaging taste that is not obtainable at most quick meals chains and there was loads of it.
