Chipotle Tests New Honey Chicken in Select Locations, Blending Chipotle Heat with Sweet Honey
Chipotle fans prepare to explore a new flavor experience as the famous Mexican food chain introduces a test menu item in select locations. Chipotle Mexican Grill has announced the testing of Honey Chicken at 80 restaurants in Nashville, Tennessee, and Sacramento, California. This new dish combines chipotle peppers' heat with pure honey's sweetness, tapping into the growing "swicy" (sweet and spicy) trend.
Developing the Honey Chicken took extensive trial and error by Chipotle's culinary team, who sought to create a unique spin on their spice-infused chicken. The result is a dish marinated in seared and smoked adobo chipotle peppers, seasoned with Mexican spices, and finished with a sweet honey glaze that perfectly balances the heat.
Why should you try Chipotle’s Honey Chicken? In addition to its spicy flavor profile, it’s made with the natural, high-quality ingredients that Chipotle is known for. Honey Chicken has passed consumer taste tests with flying colors, achieving the highest marks for Chipotle’s chicken innovations. This success suggests a promising potential for a broader release in the future.
Chipotle has long been committed to serving food made with natural, wholesome ingredients, and the Honey Chicken is no exception. With a menu built on the belief that food has the power to change the world, Chipotle uses only 53 ingredients across all its meals, ensuring that each dish is flavorful and health-conscious.
