TACO BELL is shaking things up with a menu addition that’s a little outside of its usual Tex-Mex lineup.
Known for its tacos, burritos, and nacho fries, the iconic chain is now venturing into the chicken nugget game – but with a distinct twist.

Fans aren’t happy about the menu addition[/caption]
Launched today (December 19), fast food fans will be able to tuck into nuggets with unique Taco Bell flair.
By its own admission, Taco Bell said in a press release that it’s entering a category “where chicken nugget loyalty runs deep.”
The space is most notably dominated by the likes of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Chick-Fil-A.
Of course, no chicken nugget experience is complete without the right dipping sauces.
You’ll have a trio of sauces that have been carefully curated to complement your nuggets to choose from.
Options include jalapeño honey mustard, a spicy ranch developed in collaboration with Hidden Valley, and the all-new “Bell sauce,” an exclusive addition to the lineup.
NEW NUGGETS
So, what sets these nuggets apart?
Taco Bell’s chicken nuggets are marinated in a zesty jalapeño buttermilk seasoning, giving them a bold and spicy kick.
The breading is anything but ordinary, featuring a unique blend of breadcrumbs and crunchy tortilla chips.
This innovative coating promises to deliver satisfying crunch and a nod to Taco Bell’s signature flavors that we’ve come to love.

In a recent Facebook post, food blogger Markie_devo shared the launch with fans, announcing. “Launching today at Taco Bell, will you try these?”
Fans quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One user said, “They should have brought back the chicken tacos instead.”
Another comment read, “I don’t see why Taco Bell is going this route. Like seriously, quit trying to be like McDonald’s and Burger King when your supposed to be a Mexican cuisine restaurant!”
