Chipotle just released its newest limited-time offering: Chipotle Honey Chicken, a spicy-sweet spin on classic grilled chicken.
If you’re a member of Chipotle Rewards, early access begins today, March 6, via the app or online. For everybody else, the new protein option will go live in U.S., Canada, and U.K. restaurants on March 7, with French and German locations following on March 12.
What’s the Big Deal?
Hot honey is one of the biggest food trends of 2025, and Chipotle is cashing in. According to the National Restaurant Association, the spicy-sweet flavor combination is dominating restaurant menus everywhere. After test runs in Nashville and Sacramento, the Chipotle Honey Chicken became the company’s top-performing limited-time item, so they’re rolling it out nationwide.
What’s in It?
This isn’t your ordinary grilled chicken: Chipotle Honey Chicken is marinated in a mix of smoked chipotle peppers and pure wildflower honey, then grilled fresh with a blend of Mexican spices. It’s designed to bring just the right amount of heat balanced by a touch of sweetness, making it a perfect fit for burritos, bowls, tacos, and salads.
How to Order It
If you’re not sure what to pair it with, Chipotle has curated a “Most Popular Chipotle Honey Chicken Bowl” on the app and website. Comprised of what early testers loved, it includes:
- Chipotle Honey Chicken
- White rice
- Black beans
- Fajita veggies
- Fresh tomato salsa
- Roasted chili-corn salsa
- Sour cream
- Cheese
- Lettuce
Of course, you can mix and match toppings to build your perfect order.
Is It Worth Trying?
So, if you love smoky, slightly spicy flavors with a touch of sweetness, Chipotle Honey Chicken is probably going to be your new go-to.
It’s bold without being overpowering, and it’s only available for a limited time, so it’s definitely worth grabbing at least once before it’s gone.
