3 Hot Honey Ideas for Your 2025 Menu

Looking to fire up your menu in 2025? Hot honey—sweet, spicy, and loaded with flavor—is set to be one of the biggest trends in the coming year. According to the National Restaurant Association, it’s time to embrace this buzz-worthy ingredient. Here are three easy ways to make it work for you:

Finish Your Fried Chicken: Forget regular honey—hot honey drizzled over crispy chicken adds a tangy, fiery kick that turns a classic into something unforgettable.

Sweet-Heat Pizza Drizzle: A drizzle over pizza—especially those topped with salty meats and creamy cheeses—balances flavors and brings crave-worthy excitement to the menu.

Amp Up Your Breakfast: Stir hot honey into butter for biscuits or offer it as a pancake topper for a surprising twist on familiar morning favorites.
