We Tried The Popeyes x Megan Thee Stallion Hot Sauce, And It Really Packs A Punch
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Update, November 4, 2021: Since Megan Thee Stallion released her collab with Popeyes last month, people have been loving it. The Hottie Sauce, so aptly named, brings together the sweet and spicy parts of the artist's personality in a dippable condiment made with honey, cider vinegar, and Aleppo pepper.
I wanted to see if the title matched the flavor. After all, we know Megan can handle the heat after crushing it on an episode of "Hot Ones." So I ordered an 8-piece chicken nugget meal with three of the Hottie sauces to get a taste of the sweet and spicy.
The smell is sweet with a slight tang. A dip of a nug, and I can see how thick its texture is. The flavor starts off sweet but then changes. Slowly, it morphs into a tangy-ness, and a few seconds later, the heat kicks in. It lingers for a while, but just long enough until you've taken your next bite.
Honestly, I was impressed. The sauce is delicious and has a sweet chili vibe to it with a bit more complexity. 10/10 would recommend.

Now we see what they order at these spots! We know that Saweetie likes a Big Mac, four-piece McNuggets, medium fries, and a medium Sprite from McDonald's (The Saweetie Meal). Nelly goes for a Whopper, small fries, and small Sprite (The Cornell Haynes Jr Meal) at Burger King. And we know that Lil Huddy loves a Spicy Ch’King with mozzarella sticks and a chocolate shake (The Chase Hudson Meal), also at Burger King.
Megan Thee Stallion is the latest celeb to work with a fast food chain, though she didn’t choose a meal.
