Popeyes builds its menu around bone-in Louisiana-style fried chicken, hand-battered tenders, the Chicken Sandwich, and a wings lineup that comes in eight flavors across boneless and bone-in. The spread is wide: a single chicken leg is 200 calories while 6-piece Signature Hot Bone-In Wings are 1,150, and sodium climbs fast once sauces and rubs are involved. Popeyes publishes Classic and Spicy chicken under one shared nutrition line, so the figures below cover both. Use the calculator on this page to total a real order — chicken plus a side plus a biscuit plus a drink adds up quickly.

Popeyes' own combo: the Classic Chicken Sandwich with regular Cajun Fries and a regular fountain drink. The drink shown is a regular Coke — swap it in the calculator above for whatever you actually order, and add a dipping sauce if you get one.
Popeyes' 3-piece Tenders combo as it is normally served: three Classic or Spicy tenders, a regular side, a biscuit, and a regular fountain drink. Cajun Fries are used as the side here — swap in Mac & Cheese, Red Beans & Rice, or Coleslaw in the calculator above to match your order.
Chicken Tenders:Chicken Tenders, Classic or Spicy (3 pc)(390 cal)
Popeyes reports portions as piece counts (each, 3 pc, 5 pc, 6 pc, 8 pc) or as Regular and Large rather than by weight, so no gram serving sizes are published. Sides and beverages are listed at the sizes Popeyes publishes — beverages only at Regular. Signature Chicken and Tenders share one nutrition line for Classic and Spicy. The guide covers standard domestic menu items only; limited-time offers and regional items are not included.
