Popeyes has announced a collaboration with Grammy Award-winning musician, entrepreneur, and now Popeyes franchise owner Megan Thee Stallion, as they introduce a new sauce, "Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce," and co-branded merchandise as part of a limited-edition collection.
Beginning October 19, Hottie Sauce will be spicing up the iconic Chicken Sandwich and the brand's new Nuggets in the U.S. and in 14 other countries.
This marks the first time Popeyes will release a new variation of its iconic Popeyes Chicken Sandwich.
Popeyes x Megan Thee Stallion merch will feature three exclusive releases, with the first collection, Thee Heat, dropping at 12 pm EDT on October 19 at TheeHottieSauce.com to celebrate Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce hitting stores.
As part of the collaboration, Popeyes and Megan will be making a six-figure donation to Houston Random Acts of Kindness.
Megan worked closely with the Popeyes culinary team to develop the exclusive Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce, which flaunts a sweet, yet bold flavor with a hint of spice. It is made with honey, cider vinegar, and Aleppo pepper. It will be offered on the Chicken Sandwich and as a new addition to the brand's extensive dipping sauce lineup to pair with Popeyes new Nuggets.
Starting on October 19, Popeyes Rewards members will earn 100 bonus points when they order a Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce menu item on the app or online, while supplies last.
