Strips! Tacos! Burritos! Taco Bell goes all in on Crispy Chicken
Oh, you thought Taco Bell was going to stop at chicken nuggets?
Welcome to Snackology. The home of fast-food chicken. All chicken. All the time.
That’s definitely what it feels like these days. We’re in the middle of a chicken revolution across the world of fast food. McDonald’s brought their tenders back. Popeyes has chicken wraps. And now Taco Bell has taken their chicken offering to the next level.
You might remember that Taco Bell jumped back into the world of chicken with their Crispy Chicken Nuggets last December. After disappearing for a few months, Taco Bell’s nuggets returned to their stores earlier this year with a promise that it was only the first step of the chain’s embrace of the fast-food classic that has long been owned by competitors like McDonald’s and Wendy’s.
Taco Bell officially released the next evolution of its Crispy Chicken Nuggets this week, with Crispy Chicken Strips, the Crispy Chicken Taco and the Crispy Chicken Burrito hitting stores on Tuesday.
For a Tuesday, that’s a lot of chicken to cover.
But I was a big fan of the Crispy Chicken Nuggets, ordering them several times since they came back a month or so ago, so I added a few of Taco Bell’s latest offerings — “full of flavor and unmistakably Taco Bell” — to my order and sent the Taco Bell app to work bringing the promise of some crispy chicken goodness to my house for lunch.
