Popeyes is debuting a new menu item, and fans are ready to take a bite!

The fried chicken eatery wants to "ensure fun is infused back into lunch" with their latest launch: the Golden BBQ Chicken Sandwich.

Featuring a new sweet and tangy Golden BBQ sauce, the fast food joint with Louisiana roots claims "this sandwich transforms lunchtime from mundane to magnificent." The offering is prepared with buttermilk-battered, all-white meat chicken breast, smothered in Golden BBQ sauce, and served on a buttery-toasted brioche bun with barrel-cured pickles.

Additionally, guests can take it up a notch with the option to customize their sandwich with add-ons including a slice of Havarti cheese and Applewood smoked bacon.

For fans wanting to get a taste of the new drop, it is available now, as of Tuesday, May 7, at participating Popeyes locations nationwide.

On social media, food blogger Markie Devo shared a preview of the crispy chicken menu item, with one fan leaving a comment and hoping there's "no fights over this" the way the last Popeyes chicken sandwich release incited chaos.

"Oooo ??" another fan wrote, seemingly communicating that their interest was piqued.

And that's not all the fried foods chain has cooked up lately.

In March, the brand announced that a brand-new flavor of wings was being added to its lineup: Popeyes' Honey Lemon Pepper Wings. According to a press release, the new addition was made available immediately via the Popeyes app or online, but officially hits menus on Monday, April 1.
