Default Popeyes? Chicken & Biscuits Tests New Popeyes Naked Chicken?

The press relese below is a few weeks old, but it didn't look like anyone had posted yet.

I had the Naked Chicken yesterday and it was GOOD. Pretty salty, but they leave the skin on and it tastes very much like well-seasoned deep fried turkey. Yum. I also had the green beans, but was less impressed by those. They were in a goopy sauce that I wasn't fond of. I also suspect the sauce is moderately high in carbs, but could not find nutrition info.

I hope this comes to your neighborhood soon.

Popeyes? Chicken & Biscuits Tests New Popeyes Naked Chicken? Offering
Menu Addition Offers All the Great Popeyes Flavor with Zero Carbohydrates

June 24, 2004 -- Popeyes? Chicken & Biscuits, the world's second-largest chicken chain and a division of AFC Enterprises, Inc. (TICKER: AFCE), today announced an expanded menu test of Popeyes Naked Chicken?, a zero carbohydrate bone-in chicken item with all of the famous Popeyes flavor consumers love. The product is being tested at over 300 Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits restaurants across the U.S. beginning in late June.

"Today's consumer demands flavorful meal options that don't compromise their dietary considerations, and Popeyes is committed to providing our customers with the menu variety they seek," said Ken Keymer, president of Popeyes. "Roughly 12 percent of the U.S. population follows a carb-controlled diet1; however, those consumers have no desire to give up the great flavor that Popeyes is known for delivering. They can now have both - great flavor and zero carbs - with bone-in Popeyes Naked Chicken."

The new Popeyes Naked Chicken offering is an old favorite with a modern twist. The bone-in chicken is marinated, seasoned and then fried to a crisp, golden brown all without batter and breading. It is the first item in an expanded menu test program that will offer additional menu alternatives for consumers. Other test menu items include Popeyes Naked Chicken Strips? - non-battered, non-breaded chicken strips - as well as green beans, collard greens and cole slaw.

Popeyes is a leader in the New Orleans segment of the foodservice industry and is the world's second-largest quick-service chicken concept. Founded in 1972 in New Orleans, Popeyes had 1,805 locations as of April 18, 2004, in 42 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 21 other countries.

Chicken & Biscuits, Church's Chicken? and Cinnabon?, and the franchisor of Seattle's Best Coffee? in Hawaii, on military bases and internationally.
