Review: Popeyes - Classic Chicken Wrap

Popeyes' Classic Chicken Wrap features a crispy-fried chicken tender, lettuce, shredded cheese, barrel-cured pickles, and mayo, wrapped in a flour tortilla that's supposedly infused with the flavor of the chain's biscuits.

A snack-sized wrap was $4.49.

The flour tortilla tasted like your run-of-the-mill supermarket tortilla. It was soft and pliable, with little flavor. Whoever made it folded it nicely, and I got some chicken in every bite.

The chicken tender was a little on the short side, but it was wide. It was very thin, however--similar in thickness to the pickles actually. It wasn't super fresh, but it was warm with a light and flaky crispiness that was starting to turn soft in some areas. The chicken inside wasn't dry and was easy enough to bite through.

The lettuce was fresh, and the cheese was the usual very mild type that is the norm in fast food. The pickles stuck out for their mild sourness and crunch, while the mayo added a nice richness and tang.

While it was average as far as fast-food snack wraps go, Popeyes' Classic Chicken Wrap is by far the most expensive of any of the ones I've tried in the last year or so (they've generally been around $3). It's the type of pricing that gets you thinking about what else you could be eating for the money. For 50 cents more, I'd much rather just get the chain's Chicken Dippers.
