Popeyes partners with popular ‘Hot Ones’ show for new spicy menu. What to know
Popeyes is launching a new spicy menu with the popular talk show “Hot Ones.”
The menu is available nationwide at participating locations Sept. 15, the Louisiana-inspired fried chicken restaurant chain said in a news release.
“This partnership makes Popeyes the only wing brand to be spotlighted on the iconic show, bringing fans a whole new level of flavor and varying heat,” Popeyes said in the release.
“Hot Ones” is an award-winning YouTube series with 26 complete seasons where the host, Sean Evans, interviews celebrities as they eat progressively spicier chicken wings.
This new menu includes four levels of spice:
- Sizzlin’ Sriracha dippers (mild): Pickled garlic sriracha-marinated chicken dippers with a side of buttermilk ranch dip and Hot Ones Sriracha sachet.
- Smokin’ rojo sandwich (medium): A crispy chicken fillet topped with Hot Ones’ Los Calientes Rojo spread, pickles and a toasted brioche bun.
- Darin’ dab ghost wings (hot): Chicken wings, bone-in or boneless, with a ghost pepper dry rub and a Hot Ones Last Dab ranch dip cup.
- The Last Dab (extremely hot): Hot Ones’ spiciest hot sauce, “served in a sachet for fans to add that infamous final ‘dab’ to their favorite bite.”
“When you think of bold flavors and serious heat, Popeyes is right up there with ‘Hot Ones.’ Bringing our worlds together for this limited-time menu, we’ve created something that’s going to test spice lovers in the most delicious way possible,” Evans said in the release.
