Taco Bell has introduced Crispy Chicken Nuggets to its menu and has paired the nugs with Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Ranch Sauce starting Dec. 19, according to a press release.

Other new sauces include signature Bell sauce and sweet and hot Jalapeño Honey Mustard Sauce.

The brand tested the nuggets, which have a crunchy tortilla-chip breading, in Minneapolis in 2023 and Houston earlier this year.

"As the inventors of Nacho Fries, Taco Bell is fully aware that reinventing an American classic with a Taco Bell twist is a responsibility we don't take lightly. But 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 the press release. "The Crispy Chicken Nuggets deliver a crispier, more flavorful nugget experience, and combined with the Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, we hope it will test people's devotion to their favorite nuggets."

Nuggets are priced at $3.99 for a five piece with one dipping sauce and $6.99 for a 10-piece with two dipping sauces. Combo meals are available.
