Taco Bell fans are about to have the best April of their life when these speculated fan-favorite hit stores! 👀

Missing the chain’s chicken nuggets? They’re finally bringing back the Crispy Chicken Nuggets plus a new sauce. The speculated drop of these crunchy chicken bites at Taco Bell will be on April 24, 2025. For now, fans would just have to cross their fingers for an early comeback of their favorite menu item. 

You can choose to get the Crispy Chicken Nuggets in five pieces for one sauce or ten pieces for two sauces. The optional sauces to choose from are the Fire Ranch Sauce, Bell Sauce, and Jalapeño Honey Mustard Sauce — basically, the sauces or dips you want. 

But wait, there’s more! Speculated to drop on May 22, 2025, there is more dipping goodness from Taco Bell. This time, you can also have a taste of the new Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce, which features a sweet blend of Mike’s Hot Honey sauce with the chain’s signature Diablo spice. Dip your Crispy Chicken Nuggets in a sweet and spicy sauce that’s made with honey! You can also choose to add them with other Taco Bell favorites.
