Popeyes takes aim at McDonald’s new chicken sandwich with its own free sandwich giveaway

Popeyes is offering free chicken sandwiches to fans who missed out on McDonald’s sneaker-like sandwich drop. McDonald’s sold limited-edition capsules online on February 18 at noon. Customers who made the cut could buy the chance to taste the brand’s new chicken sandwich early, along with a limited-edition capsule of other McDonald’s merch at CHKNDrop.com. Buyers will get the chance to try any of the three new sandwiches one day earlier than the rest of the world, on February 23.
