Popeyes revives long-lost menu item that fans have been waiting years to taste again

Popeyes returned its Cajun Onion Rings to US menus on 2 November, bringing back a discontinued side that some customers have missed for years. The limited-time item has prompted both nostalgic reactions and criticism, with customers debating its taste and value.

The rings cost $3.99 and come with buttermilk ranch. They were sold in the 1990s, phased out at many locations in the early 2010s and discontinued at the remaining locations in 2020, according to reports. Popeyes is also offering six pieces of Signature Bone-In Chicken for $10 for a limited time.
