Taco Bell is re-introducing its beloved chicken nuggets, after they first sold out back in December.

The Mexican-inspired fast food chain said the return of its fan-favorite Crispy Chicken Nuggets on April 24 is part of a larger plan to make chicken a permanent mainstay on menus by 2026.

Taco Bell first introduced Crispy Chicken Nuggets five months ago, and they quickly proved popular, with the chain saying customers added the bite-sized treats in 1 out of every 6 orders placed and chicken nugget offerings sold out in under a week.

"The demand for our nuggets was off the charts, which is why we're looking at making crispy chicken permanent to give our fans what they are telling us they want," Taco Bell Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery said in a statement earlier this month. "We know we're not the usual name in crispy chicken, but our nuggets speak for themselves -- they're bold, different, and unmistakably Taco Bell."

Crispy Chicken Nuggets, which feature a tortilla chip and breadcrumb coating, are made with white meat chicken and marinated in a jalapeño buttermilk mix. Customers can pair their nuggets with one of three sauces -- Hidden Valley Fire Ranch sauce, a tangy Bell sauce, or jalapeño honey mustard -- with one more sweet and spicy sauce made with Mike's Hot Honey coming later in 2025.
