Chipotle is bringing back a fan favorite item this summer. The beloved Honey Chicken returns for a limited time. The item’s popularity taps into the growing “swicy” food trend.
Chipotle’s Honey Chicken Returns for Summer
A beloved Chipotle menu item is returning this summer for a limited time. The Chipotle Honey Chicken is set to return to menus across the U.S starting April 28, 2026. The menu item drove record demand last year, exciting fans for another round of its delicious flavors.
The dish features grilled chicken with a smoky chipotle pepper marinade and a touch of honey. This creates a mix of spicy and sweet flavors that are irresistible to fans. The dish also sits at the center of the “swicy” food trend that is on social media and restaurant menus.
What’s New with the Popular Item
For this comeback, Chipotle is also offering its Honey Chicken in a High Protein Cup. Chipotle is also offering free delivery on Honey Chicken orders (with conditions) to celebrate this occasion. The offer is for orders placed from April 28 to May 11 through the brand’s app or website.
The return of this fan-favorite item reflects the brand’s focus on menu innovations and customer satisfaction. It is highlighted through the return of Chicken al Pastor and the new Cilantro Lime Sauce earlier this year.
