Two legends of heat just joined forces! Popeyes teamed up with Hot Ones for a limited-time menu that’s bringing the viral spice challenge straight to your local chicken spot. Available now, this collaboration delivers four levels of fiery flavor that’ll test your spice tolerance like never before.

What is Hot Ones? 🔥

For anyone who hasn’t fallen down the Hot Ones rabbit hole yet, it’s YouTube’s most addictive interview. Host Sean Evans asks celebrities increasingly personal questions while they eating progressively spicier chicken wings coated in some of the world’s hottest sauces. The show has become a cultural phenomenon, with A-listers like Gordon Ramsay, Billie Eilish, and Kevin Hart sweating through interviews. The final wing features “The Last Dab” – their signature scorching sauce that’s brought many grown celebrities to tears.

The Spicy Lineup 🌶️

The menu is designed like the show itself – starting mild and building to face-melting intensity. Each item corresponds to different points on the Hot Ones heat scale, so you can find your spice comfort zone or challenge yourself to go further.

Sizzlin’ Sriracha Dippers (Mild): Your entry point into the heat challenge. These pickled garlic sriracha-marinated chicken dippers come with buttermilk ranch and a Hot Ones sriracha sachet for extra flavor control.

Smokin’ Rojo Sandwich (Medium): The sweet spot for most spice lovers. A crispy chicken fillet gets topped with Hot Ones’ Los Calientes Rojo spread and tangy pickles on a toasted brioche bun.

Darin’ Dab Ghost Wings (Hot): Now we’re getting serious. Classic wings (bone-in or boneless) dusted with ghost pepper dry rub and served with Last Dab Ranch. This is where casual spice fans start sweating.

The Last Dab (Extremely Hot): The legendary sauce that’s made celebrities question their life choices. Available in a sachet so you can add that infamous final “dab” to any bite – if you dare.

Bundle Up for the Full Experience

Want the complete Hot Ones challenge experience? The $16.99 bundle gets you everything: Sriracha Dippers, the Rojo Sandwich, Ghost Wings, and all the accompanying sauches. You can also grab The Last Dab sachet separately for $1 if you want to test your limits on existing menu items.

Why This Partnership Works

This collaboration makes perfect sense. Hot Ones has built its reputation on pushing celebrities (and viewers) to their spice limits, while Popeyes has always been about bold, unapologetic flavors. As Popeyes CMO Bart LaCount puts it, they’re “blurring the line between entertainment and food.”

The timing is smart too – Popeyes Rewards members earn double points on Hot Ones items from September 22-28, and there’s even a custom reunion episode featuring Keke Palmer taking on the wing challenge with these new menu items.

This limited-time menu transforms your regular Popeyes visit into a legitimate heat challenge. Whether you’re building up spice tolerance or just want bragging rights, this collaboration brings the viral Hot Ones experience to fast food in a way that’s never been done before.
