Chipotle’s New Honey Chicken: Is It Worth the Hype?

Chipotle just dropped its latest limited-time offering: Chipotle Honey Chicken – a spicy-sweet twist on their classic grilled chicken.

If you’re a Chipotle Rewards member, you can get early access starting today, March 6, through the app or online. For everyone else, the new protein option will officially hit stores in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on March 7, with France and Germany getting it 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 flavor combo of spicy and sweet is dominating restaurant menus everywhere. After testing in Nashville and Sacramento, the Chipotle Honey Chicken quickly became the chain’s top-performing limited-time item so they’re rolling it out nationwide.

What’s in It?

This isn’t your average 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 with a hint 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 put together a “Most Popular Chipotle Honey Chicken Bowl” on the app and website. Based on 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?

If you like smoky, slightly spicy flavors with a touch of sweetness, Chipotle Honey Chicken might be your new go-to. It’s bold without being overwhelming, and since it’s only available for a limited time, it’s worth grabbing at least once before it’s gone.
