‘I deeply understand because I love being on the couch with my boys in my jammies binge-watching TV. And that’s exactly why you need a #ChilisMyHouse starter pack in your life.

‘With 1.7 million homes across America becoming Chili’s restaurants, whether you’re licking BBQ sauce off your fingers in the bathtub or trying to avoid pausing the latest series you’re obsessed with, this custom starter pack will give you all the feels in a way only Chili’s can.’

To enter, customers need only to order via the app now through the 19th and tag @Chilis on social media.

Delivery is free and in partnership with the food delivery service DoorDash.

Chili’s isn’t the first food brand to play with unexpected fragrances.

In January, KFC in the UK released a candle that smelled like its signature gravy, though only 230 were made.

‘You’re not dreaming. You really can now fill your home with the incredible aroma of KFC gravy with this limited edited candle… it’s staggeringly nose-stimulating.’ said a spokesperson.
