Roy Rogers Restaurants have partnered with Mike's Hot Honey on the Roy Rogers Chicken & Waffles to provide diners with a deliciously sweet and spicy option to enjoy this summer. The meal starts off with warm waffles paired with crispy fried chicken, which are drizzled on top with some of Mike's Hot Honey before being finished with powdered sugar. The final result is a savory, sweet and crispy dish with just the right amount of heat to satisfy fans of the swicy flavor experience.
Co-President Jim Plamandon spoke on the Roy Rogers Chicken & Waffles with Mike's Hot Honey saying, "We knew that Mike’s Hot Honey was the perfect choice to take our new Chicken and Waffles offering to the next level and introduce a new flavor profile to our menu. The new dish is the perfect balance of sweet and savory and Mike’s Hot Honey gives it that one-of-a-kind sweet heat as the final touch. We can’t wait for our Royalists to try it."
