The Qdoba Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken is a new offering from the brand created as part of a collaboration with the namesake hot sauce brand to offer patrons a flavorful option that doesn't skimp on sweet heat. The new entree consists of chicken that has been grilled in-house before being tossed in Cholula Original Hot Sauce and honey. This creates a spicy yet sweet flavor profile that is perfect on its own or as part of the Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken Bowl that was created by in-house executive chef Katy Velazquez.
The Qdoba Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken is available for a limited-time only at participating locations across the US and can be ordered online for delivery, curbside pickup or enjoyed in-restaurant.
