Available exclusively from [Popeyes Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackened-deluxe-chicken-sandwich) locations, the new Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich puts a spicy twist on the brand's classic chicken sandwich. The new offering starts with a tender all-white meat chicken breast fillet, which has been marinated in a blend of authentic Louisiana seasonings, hand-battered, and then breaded in a buttermilk coating. The chicken is then paired with [pickle slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popeyes-pickle-menu) and a fiery ghost pepper-infused mayo on a toasted brioche bun.
