Popeyes coating chicken wings with 24-karat gold, battered in champagne

To celebrate the opening of its 3,000th restaurant, Popeyes is serving up gold-coated chicken wings Thursday at one of its Anaheim, California locations.

Popeyes has picked four restaurants nationwide to serve boneless chicken wings which have been battered in champagne and coated with edible 24 Karate gold. They are dubbed 24 Karate Champagne Wings.

A meal including six gold-coated wings, a side and a biscuit is $5.

The special wings are being served Thursday only at the Anaheim store located at 1005 North Magnolia Blvd.

Only three other U.S. stores – located in New York City, New Orleans and New Jersey – are offering the special.
