Yes, Popeyes chicken is pre-cooked. To ensure that customers receive the highest quality product, all of Popeye's fried chicken and other products are cooked in advance to guarantee safety and freshness. This process also ensures that each piece of chicken stays juicy and flavorful even after reheating. All of their products are then flash frozen immediately after cooking so they remain at peak flavor for up to 8 weeks before being shipped out to stores around the country.
