On Tuesday, the chicken chain announced that it is selling a three-piece chicken tenders at Philadelphia International Airport with an "Emotional Support Chicken" carrier. The special chicken will be available as supplies last starting Tuesday at the Popeyes location in Terminal C.
Emotional-support animals have been making headlines recently, as passengers have pushed for increasingly bizarre companions on flights.
"Popeyes decided to offer its own version of 'emotional support animals pushing the envelope' by offering travelers 'Emotional Support Chicken' a gesture designed to bring holiday travelers some needed humor to what is one of the most stressful places to be during the holidays the airport," the chain said in a press release.
The timing of the Emotional Support Chicken offering perhaps is even more timely than Popeyes could have predicted.
Earlier in December, Delta announced that emotional-support and service animals will be barred from flights lasting eight hours. The airline will also no longer allow any emotional-support and service animals less than four months old to be on flights of any length.
