CHELSEA — Popeyes' popular fried chicken may soon be coming to your doorstep.

A new outpost of the fast-food chain that opened Monday at 252 Eighth Ave., between West 22nd and West 23rd streets, may launch delivery service for neighbors, its general manager said.

The eatery is considering a delivery option for nearby buildings, as well as offering a discount for seniors, GM Gina Effah said.

“I know there are a few schools around here, and there are a lot of businesses,” she added of the location. “We figured it’d be perfect."

The outpost serves standard Popeyes fare, including “Handcrafted Spicy Tenders,” a “Seafood Po’ Boy” sandwich and buttermilk biscuits.

The space was previously occupied by The Fork Bar & Grill.

“It’s about to get busy within the next 30 minutes,” Effah said around midday on Tuesday. “Everybody is excited.”
