Taco Bell is set to revive its beloved crispy chicken nuggets, which briefly appeared on the menu in 2024. This return is likely to excite fans, as more surprises await in the pipeline.
Although Taco Bell has made its name through Mexican-inspired fast food, it made waves by introducing crispy chicken nuggets, an American favorite, in 2024.
The move generated a mixed yet enthusiastic response online, with many customers expressing their eagerness to purchase the crispy nuggets. Their popularity is attributed to a unique marinade of jalapeno buttermilk and a crunchy tortilla chip coating.
Despite not lasting long on the menu, fans can breathe easy as Taco Bell aims to keep this item as a staple moving forward.
Taco Bell is bringing back crispy chicken nuggets with more planned
According to Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, the decision to reintroduce the nuggets was driven by their overwhelming success among consumers. The nuggets sold out within a week of their original launch in December 2024, highlighting their immense demand.
Montgomery stated, “The demand for our nuggets was off the charts, which is why we’re looking to make crispy chicken a permanent offering to cater to our fans’ desires.”
He further emphasized, “While we may not be the first name you think of for crispy chicken, our nuggets are bold, distinctive, and unmistakably Taco Bell.”
The crisp chicken nuggets made their official return on April 24, 2025, as part of a broader strategy that aims for a permanent offering featuring crispy chicken by 2026.
