Taco Bell is entering new territory by adding chicken nuggets to the menu. The new “crispy chicken nuggets” will consist of white meat marinated in a mild jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a breading made with crunchy tortilla bits. The nuggets will come with choice of three dipping sauces: jalapeño honey mustard, cheddar cheese sauce, and its special “bell sauce.” The Bell sauce is a “savory and tangy sauce that presents ‘subtle notes of chili peppers.’ ” The crispy nuggets were tested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2023 and Houston, Texas, earlier in 2024. They are expected to be released for a limited time starting December 19.
