The Popeyes x Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce has been created by the QSR brand in collaboration with the Grammy Award-winning rapper to provide consumers with a way to spice up their favorite menu items.
The sauce is crafted with a mix of month, cider vinegar and Aleppo pepper to give it a sweet, spicy flavor profile that is perfect for pairing with the brand's chicken. The sauce is being launched by the brand as a way to spice up its signature Chicken Sandwich as well as its new Nuggets in the US as well as 14 additional countries around the world.
The Popeyes x Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce will be available starting October 19, 2021, but will only be around for a limited time.
