Chicken chain 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 show. Available starting Sept. 15, 2025, for a limited time, the Popeyes x Hot Ones menu will bring a spicy twist to Popeyes' Louisiana-style chicken.

Inspired by the sauces featured on the "Hot Ones" YouTube series, this limited-time menu is features:

• Sizzlin' Sriracha Dippers (Mild): Pickled garlic sriracha-marinated Chicken Dippers, served with a Buttermilk Ranch dip cup and a fiery Hot Ones Sriracha sachet.

• Darin' Dab Ghost Wings (Hot): Classic wings (bone-in or boneless) dusted with a bold Ghost Pepper dry rub, served with a Hot Ones Last Dab Ranch dip cup.
• The Last Dab (Extremely Hot): Hot Ones' spiciest, most iconic hot sauce, served in a sachet.

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 flavorful Popeyes x Hot Ones menu.

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," said Bart LaCount, chief marketing officer at Popeyes.
