Move over McDonalds: Taco Bell is adding something new and completely unexpected to its menu

Taco Bell is famous for its Tex-Mex inspired fast food, but this month, the chain is adding a completely different dish to its lineup.

Starting Thursday, Taco Bell will add chicken nuggets to its menu for a limited time. But the restaurant is adding its own twist to the All-American fast-food favorite: The all-white meat chicken bites will be marinated in zesty jalapeño buttermilk flavor and breaded with a blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips.

In a world where McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A reign supreme in the chicken nugget category, the fast food chain says it’s up to the challenge of putting another competitor in the ring, especially with its new line-up of three new dipping sauces: Hidden Valley Fire Ranch, Bell, and Jalapeño Honey Mustard. The star of the trio, says Taco Bell, is the Hidden Valley a “groundbreaking innovation that blends the iconic flavors fans love from both brands.”

“As the inventors of Nacho Fries, Taco Bell is fully aware that reinventing an American classic with a Taco Bell twist is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. But in a world dominated by chicken cravings, it was time to show the world how Taco Bell does chicken nuggets – unexpected and undeniably bold,” said Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery, in a press release. “The Crispy Chicken Nuggets deliver a crispier, more flavorful nugget experience, and combined with the Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, we hope it will test people’s devotion to their favorite nuggets.”

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.
