Popeyes is teaming up with viral YouTube series Hot Ones in a first-of-its-kind menu collaboration. This partnership makes Popeyes the only wing brand to be spotlighted on the iconic show, bringing fans a whole new level of flavour and varying heat. Available starting September 15, the Popeyes x Hot Ones menu will bring a spicy twist to Popeyes iconic crispy, juicy, Cajun-style chicken, delivering a menu so bold, flavourful and craveable that it has earned a place in the most legendary hot seat in pop culture.
Inspired by the iconic sauces featured on the Hot Ones YouTube series, this limited-time menu offers fans a one-of-a-kind chance to earn major bragging rights with two crave-worthy creations with varying heat.
The Popeyes x Hot Ones menu includes:
- 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) dusted with a bold ghost pepper dry rub, served with a Hot Ones Last Dab Ranch dip cup.
In addition to the new limited-time menu, Popeyes is joining Hot Ones for a custom reunion episode where celebrity guests are invited back for another round of spicy questions and wings. Award winning multi-hyphenate, Keke Palmer is back to take on the wing gauntlet, but this time Hot Ones is serving the all-new fiery and flavourful Popeyes x Hot Ones menu.
“We may be famous for our cold winters, but Canadians have a real appetite for heat. And as a brand that’s committed to serving-up bold flavour experiences, we can’t wait for our guests to try this limited-edition menu developed in partnership with Hot Ones – the viral sensation also known for turning up the heat,” said Lisa Mazurkewich, Head of Marketing at Popeyes Canada. “Starting today, we love that Canadians can host their own version of the Hot Ones iconic spice challenge at our restaurants or at home, with menu items that range from mild to wild. Eating is believing, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!”
“When you think of bold flavours 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,” said Sean Evans, award-winning host of the Hot Ones series. “Popeyes has built a cult following around bold, craveable flavours, so bringing our heat to their wings just made sense.”
The Popeyes x Hot Ones menu delivers the heat, the flavour and an unforgettable experience that turns your next meal into a true taste test challenge. Available at participating restaurants in Canada and on the Popeyes website and app for a limited time while supplies last.
