After debuting in 2025 as the brand’s best-selling limited-time offering, Chipotle Honey Chicken returns to more than 4,000 restaurants across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Germany beginning April 28. The protein’s 2025 launch delivered the highest order rates ever for a limited-time item, prompting its global reintroduction.

For the first time, Honey Chicken will be available in Chipotle’s High Protein Cup, a protein-forward bowl option designed to increase average check values. This addition expands customization choices and caters to growing consumer demand for high-protein menu items.

To drive digital engagement, Chipotle is offering a $0 delivery fee on Honey Chicken orders placed through its app or website from April 28 through May 11, with a $10 minimum spend requirement. The offer excludes third-party platforms and is expected to boost off-premises sales during the promotion period.

The combination of a record-breaking menu item, expanded customization and waived delivery fees could lift same-store sales and digital order frequency in Q2. Continued menu innovation and promotional support may bolster traffic trends and margin mix as Chipotle navigates competitive fast-casual dynamics.
