Chipotle Honey Chicken is made with fresh chicken hot off the grill, seasoned with savory Mexican spices, in a marinade of seared, smoked chipotle peppers and a touch of pure honey, delivering a new, flavorful bite to any entrée choice.

Chipotle is featuring the 'Most Popular Chipotle Honey Chicken Bowl' on the Chipotle app, Chipotle.com and Chipotle.ca for easy ordering, making it simple for guests to experience the new protein.
