Taco Bell is officially introducing a new menu item.
Starting Dec. 19, the fast food chain will be serving up Crispy Chicken Nuggets alongside three new dipping sauces for a limited time, while supplies last. The nuggets, made from all-white meat, are marinated in “jalapeño buttermilk flavor” and coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips, Today reported.
“In a world dominated by chicken cravings, it was time to show the world how Taco Bell does chicken nuggets — unexpected and undeniably bold,” Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell’s CMO, said in a press release.
The Crispy Chicken Nuggets were first tested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last year and Houston, Texas, earlier this year.
As for the sauces, Taco Bell is introducing a Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, a blend of Fire Sauce and Hidden Valley Ranch; Bell Sauce, a “familiar, rich, creamy and tangy signature blend” with tomatoes, red chiles and garlic; and Jalapeño Honey Mustard, a blend of honey mustard with jalapeño.
