Taco Bell Goes All-In On Crispy Chicken

Taco Bell’s crispy chicken era is officially in full swing.

Fresh off the viral success of their Crispy Chicken Nuggets, the chain is now going bigger, bolder, and straight-up crispier with all-new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos—now available nationwide for a limited time.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, Taco Bell just tossed its tortilla-chip-crusted Crispy Chicken Strips into the formats that made it famous: tacos and burritos. Each strip is marinated in zesty jalapeño buttermilk, breaded for that signature crunch, and slathered with your choice of Spicy Ranchero or Avocado Ranch sauce.
Here’s what’s on deck:

Crispy Chicken Taco ($2.79) – One crispy strip with lettuce, cabbage, pico, cheddar, and your choice of sauce.
Crispy Chicken Burrito ($5.49) – Double the chicken strips, wrapped in a full-sized burrito with the same toppings.
Crispy Chicken Strips (2 for $3.99) – The nuggets are back, just bigger and built for dunking.

And because Taco Bell knows no one sauce fits all, you can order Spicy Ranchero (creamy with Anaheim and jalapeño chiles) or Avocado Ranch (a zesty, familiar fave) on the side for an extra charge.

To drive it all home, Taco Bell even launched a chaotic, fan-fueled casting call on Cameo to hype the drop — tapping everyone from GaTa to Kate Flannery to celebrity chef Christian Petroni to taste-test the crispy chaos.
Bottom line: Taco Bell isn’t just hopping on the crispy chicken wave. They’re remixing it the only way they know how—inside a burrito.
