When Taco Bell announced they were adding Crispy Chicken Nuggets to the menu at the end of 2024, people were skeptical. Sure, people love Taco Bell and nuggets, but do those two things really belong in the same sentence? Apparently so. The fast-food chain announced on April 17 that the overwhelming demand for chicken nuggets caused a sell-out in December. It was clear fans loved the new menu offering. It made sense to the bigwigs at the Bell to get them on the menu permanently.

That much demand led to the decision to permanently put Crispy Chicken Nuggets on the Taco Bell menu by 2026. “We’re a taco place doing chicken our own way and like all our best moments, it’s a little unexpected – because we’ve never been about following the rules,” Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery, said in a statement. “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. 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.” When Taco Bell posted about the new item on Instagram in December, fans shared their excitement. One wrote, “Repeat after me: I’m in love with you.” This person agreed, “Tried these!! Seasoning is so good!” Some got upset when they disappeared. Like this person who wrote, “Why did you get rid of these?!?!” And this person who has to be thrilled at the news, “HEY BRING THE NUGGETS BACK WHERE DID THEY GO???? TACO BELL, YOU BETTER NOT IGNORE ME. THESE NUGGETS ARE SO SPECIAL, AND WHEN I FOUND OUT I CAN’T GET THEM ANYMORE, YOU TOOK AWAY ONE OF THE FEW REASONS I HAVE TO LIVE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE.” This story’s featured image is by Sorbis via Shutterstock. The post It’s Official!
