Taco Bell, a chain beloved by celebrities and commoners alike, is known for their Dorito Loco Tacos, Mexican Pizza, Chalupas, and apparently, now chicken nuggets. The Taco Bell chicken nuggets, which were originally tested in 2023, are officially making their long-awaited debut, according to a press release from the chain. Launching on December 19, Taco Bell’s chicken nuggets will be available on menus nationwide, along with three brand new sauces for dunking, dipping, and pairing.
What are the Taco Bell chicken nuggets?
According to a press release, Taco Bell’s chicken nuggets take on a spin on the traditional chicken nuggets that we all know and love. The brand new Taco Bell chicken nuggets feature all-white meat, marinated in jalapeño buttermilk flavor.
The signature twist? In addition to breadcrumbs, the Taco Bell nuggets will also be breaded with crunchy tortilla chips. This extra addition will bring the tortilla flavor that TBell fans know and love from the Meximelt, Crunch Wrap, and signature tacos to the brand new nuggs.
What are the new Taco Bell sauces for chicken nuggets?
In addition to new Taco Bell chicken nuggets, there are three new sauces to pair with the nuggs: that are paired with chicken nuggets are the the new Hidden Valley Fire Ranch sauce, classic Bell sauce, and Jalapeño Honey Mustard. The chicken nugget release includes the chain’s first-ever collaboration on the new Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, which combines the bold flavors of Hidden Valley Ranch with the anticipated Taco Bell heat for a subtly spicy pairing.
If you prefer to kick up the heat a notch or two, the brand-new Bell Sauce comes with a flavor that’s packed with chili notes and offers a rich and creamy blend, while the Jalapeño Honey Mustard is deliciously swicy, thanks to sweet honey with a kick of jalapeño.
