The new Popeyes chicken sandwich was all the rage on social…apparently. And since Popeyes doesn’t have many vegan options, I wanted to make a vegan option for Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, since we’re all about cruelty-free food here at The Edgy Veg.
I created a vegan popeyes chicken sandwich recipe that is a meatless replica that you can make at home for your family instead of eating takeaway. I took my popular Vegan Chicken Drumstick recipe and used a secret spice blend to create vegan KFC chicken and then dressed it into a Vegan Popeyes Chicken Sandwich.

Vegan Popeyes Chicken Sandwich
The base of this recipe is my Best Vegan Chicken Drumsticks recipe, but breaded and seasoned to be similar to the world-famous KFC fried chicken. This vegan fried chicken is then dressed up like Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich, but with vegan butter, mayo and buns. It’s so delicious.
There’s also just something fun about making fast food from home! Feel free to make a side of fries to go with this epic vegan chicken sandwich.

Hi, I’m Candice & welcome to The Edgy Veg! I veganize popular food recipes for vegans, plant-based diets, eco-conscious eaters & people who are trying to eat more plants over… y’ know animals or by-products of animals. I hope you enjoy this tasty vegan recipe!
I love vegan sandwiches and burgers of all kinds, and there’s a reason the chicken burger or chicken sandwich from Popeyes had the internet losing its mind. The combination of fried chicken, white bread bun, mayo, and pickles is enough to make anyone hungry. And as I always do on my food blog, I decided to make it vegan! There’s a reason my vegan food is carnivore-approved.
