Popeyes is spicing things up with a first-ever collaboration alongside the viral YouTube series Hot Ones, becoming the only wing brand featured on the hit show.
Launching September 15, the Popeyes x Hot Ones menu introduces bold, Louisiana-style chicken crafted with varying levels of heat inspired by Hot Ones’ famous sauces.
The limited-time lineup includes three spicy creations plus The Last Dab, Hot Ones’ signature super-hot sauce:
- Sizzlin’ Sriracha Dippers (Mild): Pickled garlic sriracha-marinated Chicken Dippers, served with a Buttermilk Ranch dip cup and a fiery Hot Ones Sriracha sachet.
- Smokin’ Rojo Sandwich (Medium): A crispy chicken fillet topped with Hot Ones’ Los Calientes Rojo spread and tangy pickles, all on a toasted brioche bun.
- Darin’ Dab Ghost Wings (Hot): Classic wings (bone-in or boneless) dusted with a bold Ghost Pepper dry rub, served with a Hot Ones Last Dab Ranch dip cup.
- The Last Dab (Extremely Hot): Hot Ones’ spiciest, most iconic hot sauce, served in a sachet for fans to add that infamous final “dab” to their favorite bite.
To celebrate the menu, Popeyes is teaming up with Hot Ones for a custom reunion episode featuring Keke Palmer facing the fiery new menu.
Popeyes CMO Bart LaCount highlighted the cultural impact, calling the menu “more than a product launch” and a bridge between entertainment and food.
The full Popeyes x Hot Ones bundle is available for $16.99 at participating U.S. locations, with the Last Dab sachet sold separately. Popeyes Rewards members can earn double points on these items through September 28.
This limited-time menu is available nationwide through Popeyes restaurants, app, and website. Fans looking to test their spice limits should act fast—once it’s gone, the heat is off.
