“For more than 70 years, Church’s® has been known for its famous
chicken, bold flavors and spices,” said Joe Guith, CEO of Church’s
Texas Chicken®. “We felt it was time to introduce a new dipping
sauce that could punch up the level of heat and flavor even more.
Our new Signature Hot Sauce is a perfect complement to our
craveable, hand-battered chicken that guests crave.”
Available now at participating Church’s Texas Chicken® locations
across the U.S., the new Signature Hot Sauce is a mouthwatering
combination of heat and sweetness with notes of habanero peppers,
red chilies, roasted garlic and flavorful spices. To develop the
sauce and its unique flavor profile, Church’s® Head Chefs Kevin
Houston and Eric Stein worked closely with Bobby McFadden and Aurea
de Guzman – two experienced, independent pepper growers and hot
sauce aficionados who were featured on Hulu’s “Superhot: The Spicy
World of Pepper People.”
“We loved working with Bobby and Aurea who are truly among the
most engaging ‘chili-heads’ you’ll ever meet,” said Kevin Houston.
“With that dynamic duo in our camp, I think it’s safe to say we
have it on good authority that our guests will love the new sauce’s
bold flavor and extra kick of heat.”
“Flavor and layers of spice are crucial for a great tasting
sauce for those who love heat, and that’s what this new sauce
delivers,” said Bobby McFadden and Aurea de Guzman. “We are
grateful to have been chosen by Church’s® to inspire and help
develop this awesome sauce.”
The new Signature Hot Sauce is the ideal complement to Church’s
array of spicy offerings and will be included with all meals such
as the 8-Piece Spicy Bone-In Chicken or Tenders with one large
classic side, four jalapeño cheddar biscuits, also known as our new
Cheddapeño® Biscuits, and one signature jalapeño, starting at
$15.99, or the Texas 2-Piece Spicy Bone-In Chicken or Tenders with
a Cheddapeño® Biscuit, and one signature jalapeño, starting at
$3.49 at participating restaurants.
