Chipotle’s Chicken Al Pastor and Carne Asada have long been fan favorites, but the chain just outdid itself. Meet Chipotle Honey Chicken—a smoky, sweet, and spicy masterpiece that’s already being called the brand’s best menu item ever.
After smash-hit tests in Nashville and Sacramento, this limited-time protein is going nationwide (and international) starting March 7—but Chipotle Rewards members can get it a day early (March 6).
What Makes It Special?
Hot honey, Chipotle-style – Marinated in wildflower honey + seared chipotle peppers (no artificial additives)
“Swicy” perfection – The ideal balance of heat + sweetness (better than Al Pastor, fans say)
Global debut – Also launching in Canada, UK, France, and Germany
My First Bite Review
Flavor: Like the Honey Vinaigrette turned into a marinade—smoky, tangy, and just sweet enough
Versatility: Killer in bowls, burritos, and ESPECIALLY quesadillas (where the marinade shines)
Only downside: It’s limited-time, so order early and often
Verdict: “The best protein Chipotle has ever released.”
How to Get It
Rewards members: Order via app starting March 6
Everyone else: In-store/online March 7 (while supplies last)
Pro Tip: Pair it with Honey Vinaigrette for double the sweetness—or hot salsa to crank up the heat.
