Trick or…treat? As spooky season approaches, New Orleans-born chicken brand Popeyes UK has announced the return of its scorchingly spicy Ghost Pepper range, featuring brand-new Ghost Pepper Boneless and the comeback of fan-favourite Ghost Pepper Wings.
Popeyes is bringing the heat to Brits brave enough to try something flamin’ for the autumn. But proceed with caution… Popeyes® iconic shatter-crunchin’ chicken has been tossed in flavours with an intense heat that builds over time – making its Ghost Pepper range a fiery treat not for the faint of heart.
The hauntingly hot range includes the all-new Ghost Pepper Boneless and the ghoulishly good, Ghost Pepper Wings. Choose between delicious, 100% fresh chicken breast pieces, or Popeyes iconic Hot Wings, coated in the fiery and smoky seasoning, sure to have customers wanting more. Enjoy ’em solo, or share with mates – the Ghost Pepper range might be too hot to handle, but is too good not to try.
For those fearless enough to turn up the heat even more, double down with the Louisiana Hot Dip (from 89p) for an extra hot treat sure to make even the most courageous reach for one of Popeyes® hand-spun Jersey Dairy Shakes to cool down. Packed with bold New Orleans flavours, the flamin’ Louisiana Hot Dip takes the spicy kick to the max – spooky season just got a whole lot tastier.
Dave Hoskins, Head of Food at Popeyes UK said:
“We listened to fans’ cries and knew we had to bring them back to our menu just in time for Halloween – but this time, bigger and better with the all-new Ghost Pepper Boneless. Chosen for its ultimate heat-factor, but with delicious earthy and smoky flavours, ghost pepper is one of the hottest chillies out there. Sourced from India, and given that Popeyes® New Orleans twist, our Ghost Pepper range is one of our most extreme creations for our fans to try. And as a personal choice of mine, you can take this range to the next level with our Louisiana Hot Dip – if you’re brave enough!”
Popeyes’ Ghost Pepper range will be available from Tuesday 30th September for a limited-time only in Popeyes restaurants and drive-thrus nationwide, and via delivery and the Popeyes UK app. The Popeyes UK app is available to download on iOS and Android now, get it now for the latest deals and news.
