Popeyes and Don Julio Tequila had many on Black Xitter wondering what exactly the new collaboration between the brands was all about. We can safely share those details, with Popeyes and Don Julio breaking out their new collaborative Championship Lineup menu that pays homage to the chicken chain’s hometown of New Orleans and more.
Via a teaser clip, the collaboration between the brands raised eyebrows among certain folks on the X social media platform but some assumed that it was connected somehow to the upcoming Super Bowl LIX event, which is taking place in New Orleans. Today, the brands shared with their fans what the deal is and it’s got our interest for sure.

Popeyes, which bills itself as the “Official Wing of Watching Football,” and Don Julio, billed as the “Official Tequila of the Big Game” are joining forces for the Championship Lineup menu. What does that consist of?
At the top of the list is the Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Concha Chicken Sandwich, featuring a chicken breast filet marinated in reposado (lightly aged or “rested”) tequila coated in buttermilk breading and topped with a tequila lime slaw, spicy spread, a barrel cured pickle between a buttered concha roll. Concha is a type of Mexican pastry for those uninitiated.
Also in the lineup offerings are the Popeyes x Tequila Don Julio Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic 3-Piece Wings, and a Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus Flavored Lemonade Mocktail served up in a cup that should be familiar to those who have had a night or two on Bourbon Street.
On Jan. 31, select Popeyes in five cities will preview the menu. All customers over the age of 21 will have access to try out the aforementioned items ahead of the menu popping up all across New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend.
This is a one-day event while supplies last and we’ll share the locations below. Further, this menu will be available at the chain’s flagship restaurant on Canal Street in New Orleans from Jan. 31 through Feb. 9.
