Popeyes recently announced a sizzling collaboration with the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, igniting a fiery frenzy among chicken lovers nationwide. The limited-time menu is set to launch on September 15, featuring a range of hot sauces inspired by Hot Ones’ signature flavours, offering customers the chance to explore their spice tolerance with four exclusive creations, varying from mild to extreme.
The highlight of the collaboration is “The Last Dab,” a notoriously fiery sauce that has put A-list celebrities to the test on the Hot Ones show, including the likes of Macaulay Culkin, Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer. The menu includes tantalising options such as the Sizzlin’ Sriracha Dippers, marinated in pickled garlic sriracha and accompanied by ranch dressing and a Hot Ones sriracha sachet; the Smokin’ Rojo Sandwich, embellished with Los Calientes Rojo sauce and pickles; and Darin’ Dab Ghost Wings, coated with ghost pepper rub and served with The Last Dab ranch. Customers can even add The Last Dab sauce to any order for an additional $1.
Bart LaCount, the chief marketing officer of Popeyes, expressed excitement about the partnership with Hot Ones, stating, “Partnering with Hot Ones was a natural fit. They’re a cultural phenomenon known for pushing boundaries, and at Popeyes, we’ve built our brand on doing the same with bold flavor experiences.” This collaboration will be further showcased in a special reunion episode of Hot Ones, where Keke Palmer returns to face Popeyes’ exclusive menu offerings and a new lineup of spicy questions. Host of Hot Ones, Sean Evans, added, “When you think of bold flavours and serious heat, Popeyes is right up there with Hot Ones. Bringing our worlds together… we’ve created something that’s going to test spice lovers in the most delicious way possible.”
The Popeyes x Hot Ones bundle, comprising Dippers, a Rojo Sandwich, Ghost Wings, and The Last Dab ranch, is priced at $16.99 at participating U.S. restaurants. Additionally, Popeyes Rewards members can enjoy double points on Hot Ones menu purchases made through the chain’s app and website from September 22 to September 28. However, this limited-time collaboration is available only while supplies last, so spice enthusiasts are encouraged to grab these exclusive offerings before they vanish.
