      Eight Dollars? I don't know where you live but those wings are $5.99 here in East Tennessee and the Popeye's Website says they are $5.99 also. I think your local Popeye's is ripping you off bigtime. That could be why nobody is buying them in your area.
      I could solve Popeye's wing dilemma very easily. Instead of making wings a big sloppy mess by drenching them in assorted sauces, just provide more selections of flavored dressings on the side, like the Ranch Dressing and others they already have. Problem solved.

    Businesses lost the plot with wings because of pricing. It used to be wings were cheap so you got a bunch as a side. Then a few years ago there was that shortage and business had to raises prices to counter the demand for them. But now they still want those crazy prices when they knew people would buy them even though they are not worth that anymore. My local store regularly sells bulk wings for 1.99 a lb. These business are out of their mind selling a 12 for 16. Nobody wants to pay 16 for a side item, that's why they are a flop.

    On Uber Eats their wings are BOGO for the 6 piece pretty frequently, at least in my area. I was pretty happy when I ordered them, and the value was great at 6 or 7 bucks for 12 wings. However, I probably would never order them at their normal retail price due to value/amount of food. Wings in general are fairly pricy compared to how full you might get from ordering a pizza/tacos etc. for the same amount of money and these were "just okay."

    The price is just too high. I was out of town, didn't know where to eat, and on a whim tried a Popeyes simply because it was in front of me. Funny enough I had no idea they had wings.
    The wings were fine, I liked what I got well enough. But they need to be below $1 a piece to be viable. At the price Popeyes is asking, why not just go to any other place?
    Another issue is that I believe Popeyes is considered to be pretty low on the cheap fast food totem pole. So customers expect that of the wings as well, whether this stigma is deserved or not. So a customer wanting wings is likely to go somewhere else they consider to be a step up from Popeyes, thus why the price is wrong.

    I think it's what most have been saying, is that they are wings. The reason that their sandwich did so well is because it's something they didn't have before, and it was actually good. I feel what would be a little different, is if they could take the sauce idea that they have and use them to sauce the chicken that goes on the sandwiches. Popeyes Saucy Sandwich or something like that. Improve the buffalo sauce, add one or two more sauce flavor options and have it where you can get your chicken sandwich tossed in whatever sauce you want. (I'm aware that this is biting WingStop's idea, but businesses borrow ideas all the time)

    @joshuacruz5436 Рік тому +3

    Got a 24 piece to share with a friend a while back--tried all the flavors you did, as well as the sweet n' spicey. This review really, really reflected my experiences. At the end of the day, the flavors were... fine. The sweet n' spicey was probably the best, and yes, the BBQ was decent too. But frankly, they just don't need flavors. Breaded and sauced wings are hard, I think, because the breading gets soggy pretty quickly. The wings themselves are good. So just capitalize on that. I think the wings, without any kind of added sauces, beat out KFC. KFC stopped their hot wings maybe a year back, and when Popeyes released their ghost pepper wings, KFC reintroduced the hot wing, but I just don't think they can compete with Popeyes. Popeyes wing execution is just... better. But adding the sauce kind of detracts from the simplicity and flavor that they offer. The ghost pepper wings were not conceived initially to be sauced, and so adding something to them actually detracts.
    So why have they fallen flat? I think because we all inherently know this. On top of that, leave the sauces to wing experts, that is, places that specialize in wings and sauces. If the sauce is going to be something that adds to the experience, it needs to be developed well. Fast food places can't do that just by the nature of what they are. And I think we all know that inherently too. It's not a lost cause. They should just go all in on the ghost pepper wing again, do another push with it, maybe some promotions that bring the cost down by a couple dollars.

    So, I knew Popeyes had recently introduced wings and tried them when they first came out in Sept (according to this video). I found them to be the best fast food wings since KFC's honey BBQ wings back in the 90s/00s.
    Did not know they introduced additional flavors. I will probably get to these eventually. My wife LOVES Popeyes, and I admit it is the best fast food chicken, but their customer service issues are so bad I refuse to go there, so I only eat it when my wife brings me some. The fact that I didnt hear about the additional flavors means maybe the advertising isnt working quite as well as assumed.
    - The hot wings with a hint of sweetness sound interesting. I like a good sweet/hot combination
    - As per the KFC reference above, honey bbq is usually the best/safest flavor from chains.
    - I've never had a garlic parmesan wing I liked. I have friends that swear by them
    As for the price, the cost of whole chicken wings wholesale is INSANE right now.
