The five new variants include: Original paired with The Classic Sauce; Spicy Garlic paired with The Classic: Garlic Fresno Edition Sauce; Smoky Sweet paired with Los Calientes Verde Sauce; Smoky Habanero paired with Los Calientes Rojo Sauce; and Barbacoa paired with Los Calientes Barbacoa Sauce. Chris Schonberger, general manager of First We Feast, said: "We are excited to expand our flavour assortment for the Hot Ones Boneless Chicken Bites with five of the most popular Hot Ones sauces that have been used on the show. It's our goal to make the Hot Ones experience as accessible as possible to fans and to introduce new shoppers to flavours they won't find anywhere else in the frozen aisle." The expanded line is available in US Walmart's freezer aisles, with further rollout expected soon in other retailers across the country.
