A POPULAR menu item is being made permanent at Taco Bell after consumer demand for it was “off the charts.”
The beloved fast food chain has listened to its customers after a limited run towards the end of last year, and sold out in less than a week.
When the Crispy Chicken Nuggets first came to Taco Bell, on December 19, 2024, they were an instant hit.
Taco Bell claimed that nearly 5 million customer got a taste, and that nearly one in six orders included the nuggets during their first run on the menu.
Now, Taco Bell fans have been met with two pieces of good news.
Firstly, the nuggets are set to be made permanent in 2026.
The fast food chain has admitted that the success of the nuggets was “a little unexpected”, but followed up by adding that its “never been about following the rules” and demand for the item was “off the charts.”
But if 2026 seems like too long to wait, the nuggets are coming back for a while before then.
In fact, they are coming back in just a few days time.
People reports that the snack is back in Taco Bell locations from April 24 for its “longest run yet”.
While it is not known how long the nuggets will stick around in 2025, fans will surely be excited for their return.
During their initial run in 2024, they were only listed as while supplies last, and foodies were sad to see them go.
On social media, they shared their sorrow at the departure of the nuggets, taking to platforms like Reddit to unite in grief.
On the r/Taco Bell thread, one person wrote: “I miss the chicken nuggets.
“They were so good!! It disappeared so fast.”
Another comment said: “Yeah. These tasted better over any other fast food nuggets.”
And a third added: “Who do I need to write to and advocate to get them back?”
TRIED AND TESTED RECIPE
In their time away, the chicken nuggets have been perfected for the ultimate taste.
Taco Bell says that it tested more than 50 recipes and flavor combinations to find the perfect one for foodies.
The nuggets are made from all-white meat chicken marinated in jalapeño buttermilk.
