Popeyes brings back 'best ever' ghost pepper range with one of the 'hottest chillies out there'

Popeyes is bringing back its ghost pepper range, just in time for spooky szn.

The beloved chicken spot is not only bringing back the ghost pepper wings, dubbed the "best ever" by fans, but also bringing out a brand new addition – the ghost pepper boneless.

You've gotta be brave to try this range, though, as they're all about an "intense heat that builds over time."

In fact, Popeyes themselves warn they're "not for the faint of heart".

You can get your hands on six boneless ghost pepper wings/ boneless for £5.99, eight for £7.79 and 12 for £10.99.

Levelling them up to a meal only costs a few more quid and means you get a side and a drink.

And if you're a really fiend for the hot stuff, add a Louisiana Hot Dip (from 89p) to really test your tastebuds.

"You guys might as well put these bad boys on the menu permanently," said one person on X.

Meanwhile, another wrote: "y’all should just keep this on the menu it’s the best thing honestly."

Dave Hoskins, Head of Food at Popeyes UK said: “We listened to fans' cries and knew we had to bring them back to our menu just in time for Halloween - but this time, bigger and better with the all-new Ghost Pepper Boneless. 

“Chosen for its ultimate heat-factor, but with delicious earthy and smoky flavours, ghost pepper is one of the hottest chillies out there.

"Sourced from India, and given that Popeyes New Orleans twist, our Ghost Pepper range is one of our most extreme creations for our fans to try.  

“And as a personal choice of mine, you can take this range to the next level with our Louisiana Hot Dip - if you’re brave enough!”
