Are The Beloved Biscuits At Popeyes Fresh Or Frozen?

BY SONORA SLATER
Popeyes’ beloved buttery biscuits come with most combos at the fast food chain, but some buyers wonder whether the side is actually made fresh in store.
Specifics about the biscuits are kept secret, so it's hard to know for sure how they're made. At one point, they were certainly made fresh, but this may have changed with demand.
Post-pandemic, more and more U.S. food establishments have switched to frozen. Over 40% of food service groups reported more frozen food purchases in 2022 than in 2019.
Cooking items from frozen helps ensure consistency and increases efficiency. The items usually only wait a week or two in a freezer before they make their way to your plate.
Despite Popeyes biscuits likely being frozen at some point in the process, customers still love them. To guarantee they’re fresh, however, you’ll have to make your own.
