Popeyes’ Blackened Tenders are a non-battered, non-breaded version of their chicken tenders covered in blackened seasoning. They used to call them “Naked Tenders.” I got an order of three tenders for $3.99 (but they actually gave me four and threw in a biscuit as well. Bonus!)
Popeyes’ Blackened Tenders are particularly popular with the Keto crowd. What makes them ketogenic friendly (and generally low-carb) is that the chicken is tossed in Popeyes Cajun seasoning and then fried without any of the breading. This mimics the traditional blackening technique of covered meat in spices and then cooking on a hot pan.
These “popable” versions of Popeye’s Famous Fried Chicken are perfect for lunch, get togethers or kid’s parties. In a large bowl, add flour, salt, white pepper, cayenne and paprika. In a medium bowl, add eggs. Beat with a whisk until well-blended. One at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the blended egg.
Made with their special seasoning, these fries are as flavorful as they are spicy. It just adds more pizzazz to your meal, while also being an entirely respectable snack on its own. Sometimes Popeyes’ Cajun Fries get a bit of a makeover as well, like the time they were loaded up with cheddar cheese, bacon, and gravy.
