Updated 2017! Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a fried chicken chain with thousands of locations throughout the U.S. and in 30 countries worldwide. Unfortunately, the poultry batter used to make their classic fried chicken contains milk. However, there are still a few non-dairy options on the menu.
No Dairy (Milk-Based) Ingredients (see disclaimer below)
- Chicken – Naked Chicken Tenders, Naked Chicken Wrap, Naked BBQ Chicken Po’ Boy, Get Up & Geaux Kids’ Meal
- Sides – Red Beans & Rice, Cajun Fries (see Allergen Note below), Cajun Rice, Baguette, Jalapenos, Cole Slaw
- Breakfast – Grits, Hashbrowns (see Allergen Note below)
- Sauces – Barbeque, Sweet Heat, Cocktail, Mardi Gras Mustard, Tartar, Creamy Horseradish
- Dessert – Apple Sauce, Sliced Pecan Pie
Other Allergen Notes: They also offer a gluten-free menu on their website, which isn’t much, but it is helpful. There also seems to be an error and an omission on their allergen menu. The Cheddar Cheese Tortilla is listed as milk free, and I’m going to guess that it isn’t. Also, we previously noted potential milk cross-contamination for the French Fries and Hashbrowns due to a shared fryer with their Fried Chicken. This is no longer noted on their site, so check at the restaurant if this is a concern for you.
