Popeyes 24-Karat Chicken Wings Celebrate His 3000th Restaurant

Some people believe that Popeyes offers fried chicken at its best, the ultimate perfection of poultry immersed in oil and crispy. How can you improve their king of cooked poultry? Society has an answer, but only briefly. And if you could eat Popeyes chicken wings covered with champagne paste and covered with 24-carat gold flakes? It may not be good for the bottom line – or size – but it's good for marketing.

To celebrate the opening of its 3,000th store in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Popeyes has materialized this feverish dream of hedonism. On October 4, in four of its restaurants, guests will be able to order a pack of six boneless and golden chicken wings, a side dish and a hot biscuit, while stocks last.

The lucky places are in Manhattan, New Orleans and Anaheim, California, as well as the new Elizabeth Popeyes restaurant.

The amount of gold may seem opulent, but its propensity for dilution without losing its brilliance does not mean that the purchase of chicken is not worth it, it is necessary to use a Bunsen burner and try to recover the quantity infinitely small precious metal flowing.

And although gold is indigestible, it should not cause more stomach discomfort than fried foods, as it simply passes through everyone's system. Food safe gold contains only this element and other inert fillers, such as pure silver.

Popeyes adopted an informal style of cooking in New Orleans and introduced it to a wide audience beginning in 1972. A number of fast-food restaurants and fast food outlets have adopted m in 1971, focused on the muffuletta sandwich brought to the Big Easy by Sicilian immigrants.
