Popeyes is turning up teh heat with a new menu inspired by the popular web series Hot Ones,offering customers a chance to experience the show’s signature spicy challenge. The collaboration, launching in September 2025, features a lineup of chicken tenders and dipping sauces designed to match the escalating Scoville units of Hot Ones‘ infamous wings.
The partnership arrives as Popeyes seeks to capitalize on the growing popularity of spicy food and the devoted fanbase of Hot Ones, known for its blend of celebrity interviews and progressively hotter chicken wings.The menu will be featured during a special Hot Ones episode with returning guests, including Keke Palmer, and is intended to bring the show’s fiery experience directly to Popeyes restaurants.
The Popeyes x Hot Ones menu includes tenders coated in sauces ranging in heat, mirroring the Hot Ones wing progression. According to Hot Ones host Sean Evans, “Popeyes has built a cult following around bold, craveable flavors, so bringing our heat to their wings just made sense.” The collaboration aims to provide a unique and engaging dining experience for Popeyes customers and Hot Ones viewers alike.
