Chipotle has a new meat option and it’s a little spicy, a little sweet
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new item at Chipotle.
Earlier this month, the Tex-Mex chain added Hot Honey Chicken to the menu. Per a press release from Chipotle, the dish is made with chicken, seasoned with savory Mexican spices, in a marinade of seared, smoked chipotle peppers and a touch of pure honey.
Chipotle Honey Chicken made a limited-time debut last year when the chain tested the dish in Nashville, Tenn. and Sacramento, Calif.
“Chipotle Honey Chicken was our top performing limited-time offer in test markets and we’re excited for guests to taste this bold, new protein with their go-to order,” said Chris Brandt, Chipotle’s Chief Brand Officer, in a press release. “The delicate balance of heat and a touch of sweet pairs perfectly with our real ingredients prepared fresh every day.
If you have plans to try the new chicken, Chipotle recommends pairing it with white rice, black beans, fajita veggies, fresh tomato salsa, roasted chili-corn salsa, sour cream, cheese and lettuce.
