Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Nuggets are coming back on April 24! They sold out super fast last December, in less than a week. This time, Taco Bell has even bigger plans. The return of the nuggets is just the beginning of their goal to be the best place for crispy chicken, with a permanent spot on the menu by 2026.
Taco Bell is really stepping up their chicken game!
After trying out over 50 recipes, they’ve created a super crispy tortilla-chip coating that will be on the menu for good starting in 2026.
Taco Bell is introducing new flavors and sauces, including a sweet and spicy mix with Mike’s Hot Honey®, focusing heavily on chicken dishes for fans.
From their Cantina Chicken Menu to new items like Chicken Al Pastor Street Chalupas, Taco Bell is turning into the best chicken place around!
Driven by Desires, Supported by Supporters
Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken, a popular worldwide dish, sold out in less than a week in the US, with 5 million people choosing it in its first week, proving that a taco restaurant can serve chicken successfully.

“We’re a taco place doing chicken our own way and like all our best moments, it’s a little unexpected – because we’ve never been about following the rules,” said Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery. “The demand for our nuggets was off the charts, which is why we’re looking at making crispy chicken permanent to give our fans what they are telling us they want. We know we’re not the usual name in crispy chicken, but our nuggets speak for themselves — they’re bold, different, and unmistakably Taco Bell.”
Hidden Valley™ Fire Ranch Sauce, a popular choice for crispy chicken, is back with zesty Bell Sauce and spicy Jalapeño Honey Mustard, making a delicious trio for all dipping needs.
