Taco Bell is back in its nugget bag. After selling out during their limited debut last December, the Crispy Chicken Nuggets make their official nationwide return starting April 24—and they’re aiming to do more than just satisfy cravings. They’re leading Taco Bell’s crispy chicken charge, hinting at even more chicken-forward creations on the horizon.

These aren’t your average nuggets. Each piece is made with juicy, all-white meat chicken marinated in a jalapeño buttermilk blend, then coated in a crunchy tortilla chip crust and fried until golden. It’s a bold, spicy twist on a comfort classic—and they’re crispy in all the right ways.

But nuggets are only as strong as their sauce game, and Taco Bell’s bringing back the GOAT of the last run: Hidden Valley Fire Ranch. After being the top sauce pick last time, it returns with its spicy-cool flavor, alongside Bell Sauce (tangy) and Jalapeño Honey Mustard (sweet heat) to round out the dunk-worthy lineup.

Here’s the lowdown on how you can get your fix:

  • 5-piece + 1 sauce: $3.99
  • 10-piece + 2 sauces: $6.99
  • 5-piece combo (with Nacho Fries, nacho cheese, and a drink): $5.99
  • 10-piece combo: $8.99

Whether you’re dipping, double-dipping, or straight up drenching, these nuggets are back to make some noise. Taco Bell says this is just the beginning of their crispy chicken era—so stay hungry.
