Applebee’s is adding two chicken dishes to its fall skillet lineup and preparing a separate Halloween promotion for customers ordering wings to go.
The Cheesy Chicken Skillet and Chicken & Shrimp Scampi Skillet are available now for a limited time. A second offer, the Hallowings Bucket, begins October 25 and includes 20 boneless wings for $12.99 through qualifying online orders at participating locations.
The distinction is timing: customers can order the new skillets now, but the wings promotion runs only from October 25 through October 31.
Two New Skillets Join the Fall Menu
In its October 12 announcement, listed on Applebee’s official website, the company introduced two additions alongside returning skillet dishes. The lineup starts at $12.99, with prices, participation, and selection varying by restaurant.
The Cheesy Chicken Skillet combines grilled chicken breast with a Parmesan and white cheddar cream sauce. Applewood-smoked bacon and crispy onions finish the dish, which comes with garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned broccoli.
It is the cheese-forward option of the two additions, pairing the creamy sauce with bacon and a crisp onion topping.
The Chicken & Shrimp Scampi Skillet takes a different approach. Grilled chicken breast and sautéed shrimp come in a garlic-and-lemon butter sauce, accompanied by the same garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned broccoli.
The shared sides give the dishes a similar foundation, while the proteins, sauces, and toppings distinguish the two.
What the New Skillets Cost
Allrecipes’ October 14 report lists the Cheesy Chicken Skillet at $12.99 and the Chicken & Shrimp Scampi Skillet at $20.99. Those reported prices should not be treated as guaranteed nationwide prices. Applebee’s official announcement says pricing can vary and excludes tax and gratuity.
The returning Garlic Sirloin Skillet features seasoned top sirloin with garlic butter and parsley, plus garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned broccoli. Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp and Bourbon Street Steak are also part of the broader skillet lineup.
Before ordering, select your restaurant and check its menu for the local price and available dishes.
The Skillets Are Available Now
Applebee’s announced the skillet lineup on October 12. The dishes are available for dine-in, To Go, and delivery through the chain’s website or mobile app, subject to local participation and selection.
For customers who want the sizzling presentation, dining in is the relevant option. Customers can also order meals to go, without the same tableside skillet experience.
The company describes the skillet offerings as limited-time items but does not give a specific end date in its announcement.
That differs from the Halloween wings promotion, which has a defined seven-day ordering window.
The Hallowings Bucket Starts October 25
Applebee’s Hallowings Bucket includes 20 boneless wings for $12.99. The company describes its boneless wings as breaded boneless chicken pieces tossed in the customer’s selected sauce.
The announced sauce choices are:
- Classic Buffalo
- Honey BBQ
- Sweet Asian Chile
- Garlic Parmesan
- Extra Hot Buffalo
- Hot Honey Glaze
Each order also includes a choice of bleu cheese or house-made buttermilk ranch dressing.
The offer runs October 25–31, 2026, at participating locations while supplies last. Unlike the skillets, the Hallowings Bucket promotion is exclusively for To Go and delivery, not dine-in.
How to Order the Halloween Deal
According to Applebee’s official Halloween announcement, distributed through Business Wire, customers must order through Applebees.com or the Applebee’s mobile app. No promotional code is required; customers choose the offer and add it to their cart.
The promotion is not valid on third-party delivery sites. Delivery coverage varies by restaurant, and restrictions may apply.
Selecting your location before building the order will help you check whether the offer is available. Review the checkout total rather than assuming the advertised item price includes all applicable charges. The two announcements describe separate offers with different availability and ordering conditions.
What to Know Before Making Plans
Check your selected restaurant’s menu for skillet prices and availability. For the Halloween wings deal, use Applebee’s website or mobile app during the October 25–31 promotional window.
The two offers suit different occasions: a skillet meal at the table or a wings order to take home during Halloween week.
Would your fall plans call for a sizzling dinner out, or a pickup order before the Halloween festivities begin?
