Pop culture icon and rapper Megan Thee Stallion already keeps things spicy in a lot of her verses. But her fans can now keep things spicy in their lunch as well, now that she has collaborated with fast-food chain Popeyes to debut a new hot sauce.
Popeyes Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce was officially released on Tuesday, and the TribLive Taste Test Squad stopped by to see how it stacks up against the restaurant’s other spicy dipping sauce, Sweet Heat.
Is the new sauce a burn-your-tongue-to-the-ground scorcher, or will it balance flavors and heat? Find out!
The sauce is made with honey, cider vinegar and Aleppo pepper, and is available in the U.S. and 14 countries.
In addition, Popeyes approved the Houston rapper’s application to become an actual Popeyes franchisee.
“I’m appreciative of Popeyes commitment to empowering Black women and look forward to opening Popeyes restaurants,” she said. “Teaming up with Popeyes is such a milestone in my journey and evolution as an entrepreneur. I’ve always been a fan of the Popeyes brand and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join the brand and help create the new Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce for their lineup.”
The collaboration will also see the release of co-branded merchandise, including “Saucy” shirts, hats, bikinis and tumblers, available at TheeHottieSauce.com. Additional merch will be released on future dates in November.
