To achieve that juicy, moist interior, Popeyes adds a dash of milk and eggs to the batter. Canola oil is used for frying (much healthier than lard, whew!)

Now, heres the tricky part those natural and artificial flavors have questionable origins and may contain alcohol extracts. Not very halal-friendly!

Some vigilant Muslims also take issue with suspect emulsifiers in the batter that could come from pork sources. But Popeyes insists no pork products are used.
