Taco Bell Drops Diablo Dusted Crispy Chicken Nuggets Coated In All-New Diablo Dust

Taco Bell just turned its iconic Diablo Sauce into a dust and put it straight on their Crispy Chicken Nuggets.

Starting April 16, Diablo Dusted Crispy Chicken Nuggets hit menus nationwide for a limited time, marking the very first time Taco Bell has transformed its cult-favorite hot sauce into a dust.

Beyond the sauce packet, the heat comes built in. Taco Bell coats its crunchy tortilla chip-breaded nuggets in “Diablo Dust,” delivering that familiar lingering heat in every bite.

Underneath, premium all-white meat chicken is seasoned with bold Mexican spices. If you want sauce in the mix, you can experiment with dipping sauce options like Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch, Bell Sauce, or Jalapeno Honey Mustard.

Pricing starts at $4.49* for a 5-piece with your choice of one sauce and $7.49* for a 10-piece with your choice of two sauces, with combo options including a $10.99* deluxe combo with a Chalupa Supreme, Crunchy Taco, Regular Nacho Fries and a medium fountain drink. 

This continues Taco Bell’s boundary pushing evolution in its crispy chicken journey, but flips the format. No packet necessary, since the flavor’s already doing its job, with more dusted nuggets still to come.
