Taco Bell is bringing back this wildly popular menu item

Taco Bell is bringing back its chicken nuggets.

Beginning April 24, the fan-favorite item will return to Taco Bell menus nationwide for an eight-week run, reports CNN. The Tex-Mex chain also revealed to CNN that the nuggets may become a permanent menu item in 2026.

Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell’s chief marketing officer, told CNN the chain wants to test how its 8,000 locations around the country can easily integrate them into a daily workflow before executives make the official decision to add the nuggets to the permanent menu.

Taco Bell first added the chicken nuggets to its menu last December.

The all-white meat chicken bites are marinated in zesty jalapeño buttermilk flavor and breaded with a blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips. Taco Bell also offers a line-up of dipping sauces for the nuggets: Hidden Valley Fire Ranch, Bell, and Jalapeño Honey Mustard.

Here’s a look at the dipping sauces:

  • Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce: Taco Bell’s first-ever ranch partnership blends Taco Bell Fire Sauce and Hidden Valley Ranch.
  • Bell Sauce: The Bell sauce offers a tangy signature blend with subtle chili notes crafted with tomatoes, red chiles, and garlic.
  • Jalapeño Honey Mustard: The Jalapeño Honey Mustard that fuses honey mustard with a kick of jalapeño.
