Popeyes is partnering with Hot Ones on a limited-time lineup launching now across Canada. The collaboration brings two heat levels to classic fried chicken formats and coincides with a reunion episode of the show featuring Keke Palmer, marking the first time a quick-service wing from a national chain appears on the series.
The menu centres on two items. The Smokin’ Rojo Sandwich layers a crispy chicken fillet with Los Calientes Rojo and tangy pickles on a toasted brioche bun for a medium kick. The Darin’ Dab Ghost Wings coat bone-in wings in a ghost pepper dry rub and pair them with a Last Dab Ranch dip cup for a hotter option. Both are available at participating restaurants, on the website, and in the app while supplies last.
Fans will see the partnership carried through to the screen in a custom reunion episode, extending the flavour ladder from the show to the restaurant. A national delivery tie-in runs October 6 to 10 on Skip with $10 off $30 using code HOTONES, at participating locations and while supplies last.
First We Feast, the studio behind Hot Ones, continues to build crossovers between food media and brand collaborations, and this launch taps Canadian interest in higher-heat comfort food with clear paths to try both spice levels.
