🔥WE TRIED THE NEW HOT ONES DROP AT POPEYES🔥

Popeyes x Hot Ones is turning up the heat with a limited-time menu that’s not for the faint of tongue! 🌶️🍗 We tried them! Big Back Son ate the sandwich before a pic was taken. 😒

🔥 Sizzlin’ Sriracha Dippers: These chicken dippers are marinated in pickled garlic sriracha and come with a buttermilk ranch dip and a sachet of Hot Ones Sriracha sauce.

Flavor: Tangy, garlicky, and bold.

Heat Level: 🌶️🌶️ Mild but satisfying for spice lovers. The marinade packs a punch, but the ranch cools it down just enough.

🌪️ Darin’ Dab Ghost Wings Bone-in or boneless wings dusted with ghost pepper dry rub, served with Hot Ones Last Dab Ranch.

Flavor: Smoky, intense, and dangerously addictive.

Heat Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Hot! The ghost pepper rub brings serious fire, and the Last Dab Ranch adds a creamy kick of the infamous Last Dab sauce.

💀 The Last Dab Sauce: Available as a sachet add-on, this is the spiciest sauce in the Hot Ones universe, made with Pepper X.

Flavor: Deep, earthy, and nuclear-level heat.

Heat Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ EXTREME. Clocking in at over 2.6 million Scoville units, this is the final boss of spice.

🔥Smokin’ Rojo Sandwich 🔥this sandwich is a fiery twist on the classic Popeyes chicken sandwich and it’s bringing serious heat and flavor.

🍔 What’s Inside:

• Crispy chicken fillet

• Tangy pickles

• Toasted brioche bun

• Slathered in Hot Ones’ Los Calientes Rojo sauce

🌶️ Flavor Profile:

The Los Calientes Rojo sauce delivers a bold, peppery punch with notes of citrus, jalapeños, and habaneros. It’s smoky, slightly sweet, and full of complex heat that builds with every bite.

🔥 Heat Level:

Medium It’s spicy enough to make your nose run and your tongue tingle, but not so hot that it’s unbearable. Perfect for spice lovers who want a flavorful burn without crossing into Last Dab territory.

🎯 Challenge your taste buds and earn bragging rights. Available now at participating Popeyes locations.

... Read moreOkay, so you've heard about the Popeyes x Hot Ones collaboration, and like me, you're probably wondering: is it worth the hype? And more importantly, how do these new fiery additions stack up against Popeyes' classic menu? Let's dive a little deeper, beyond just the heat levels. First off, for those of us who love Popeyes for its amazing sauces, how do the new Hot Ones offerings compare to our usual favorites like the Mardi Gras Mustard, Blackened Ranch, or the beloved Sweet Heat? Well, I found that the Hot Ones sauces bring a distinctly different flavor profile. While Popeyes' Louisiana Hot Sauce offers a classic, vinegary kick that's perfect on fried chicken, the Pickled Garlic Sriracha in the dippers introduces a tangier, more complex garlic note that's unique. It's not just heat for heat's sake; there's a definite savory depth. And if you're a fan of those handy Popeyes hot sauce packets, the Hot Ones sachets are a fun, elevated twist, especially with the Last Dab. They're definitely not replacing my go-to sauces, but they're a fantastic seasonal adventure! Now, let's talk about the Smokin' Rojo Sandwich. Many of you might be wondering how it compares to the iconic Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Here's my take: the classic spicy sandwich gets its kick from the spicy mayo, which is creamy and robust. The Smokin' Rojo, however, is a whole different beast. The Los Calientes Rojo sauce truly delivers a smoky, peppery punch with those citrusy jalapeño and habanero notes. It's less about the creamy heat and more about a vibrant, building spice that coats your palate. If you usually reach for the spicy chicken sandwich because you love that heat, you absolutely must try the Smokin' Rojo. It offers a more gourmet, nuanced spice experience, and the crisp chicken fillet still shines through. It's a great sandwich for someone looking to explore new flavors beyond the traditional spicy option. I even saw some promotional posters showing off that delicious chicken sandwich, complete with sauce and pickles, making my mouth water all over again! Speaking of the extreme, the Last Dab sauce is no joke, clocking in at over 2.6 million Scoville units. If you're planning to tackle the Darin' Dab Ghost Wings or add a Last Dab sachet, be prepared! I always recommend having something cooling on hand – a Popeyes ranch sauce cup is perfect for this, or even a glass of milk. It’s a challenge to earn bragging rights, but don't let it ruin your meal! The Last Dab Ranch that comes with the Ghost Wings helps to temper the ghost pepper rub, offering a creamy respite. From the Hot Ones Pickled Garlic Sriracha Hot Sauce sachet (which is a pleasant 3/10 for me) to the Last Dab Ranch cup (which truly is HOT!), this collaboration offers a fantastic range for every spice tolerance. Remember, this is a limited-time menu! If you're curious about these unique flavors and want to experience the Hot Ones heat alongside your favorite Popeyes fried chicken, you'll need to act fast. It's a unique opportunity to try something truly different from the usual Popeyes menu – a real big sauce moment, if you ask me!

Back when this came with a paper tray and a biscuit on the side. Savory, steamy, and packed with that familiar Cajun smell that hit before the first bite. Soft rice, seasoned just right, everything cooked down together the way it should be. Nothing fancy. Just comfort you remember instantly.
