With over 300 star-studded episodes hosted by Sean Evans, Hot Ones is now bringing the spice straight to fans’ doors with a spicy menu available for delivery, powered by Mealco’s virtual kitchen technology. New Yorkers and Philadelphians can celebrate National Wing Day at home via Hot Ones’ delivery, available on HotOnesDelivery.com and all major delivery apps.

The menu features a choice of 6-piece or 12-piece wings, in addition to deliciously spicy crispy chicken or plant-based chicken sandwiches, coated in sauces tested by A-list Hot Ones guests this season. The spicy lineup of hot sauces fans can taste include:

• Los Calientes™ Rojo: Spicy and tropical!
• The Classic™ Chili Maple: The perfect balance of sweet and heat.
• The Classic™ Garlic Fresno: Garlic and Fresno chili get the party going!

Diners can savor a full meal by making it a combo with french fries and their choice of drink. For those that may need help turning down the heat, the Hot Ones pop-up menu also features an Apple Fritter topped with sweet milk for dessert.
