IRVINE, CALIF. — Taco Bell Corp., a subsidiary of Yum! Brands Inc., announced it would be adding some chicken items to its lineup starting on June 17 for a limited time only.

The quick-service restaurant plans to have a new Crispy Chicken Taco and Crispy Chicken Burrito.

“Crispy chicken is having a moment, but our fans made it a movement,” said Taylor Montgomery, chief marketing officer at Taco Bell. “So, we decided to bring our sell-out Nuggets recipe to the formats that defined our brand because true innovation means elevating the icons, not replacing them. We’re not like every other chicken spot out there; we’re doing crispy chicken the only way we know how: full of flavor and unmistakably Taco Bell.”

The company explained after the success of Crispy Chicken Nuggets it felt like tacos and burritos were the next step for its menu.

The items also feature shredded cheddar, pico de gallo and the choice of Spicy Ranchero Sauce or Avocado Ranch Sauce.

“The craving for crispy chicken is growing every single day and our fans told us loud and clear: give us more,” said Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s global chief food innovation officer. “We listened, continued to innovate and have now delivered. From our viral Crispy Chicken Nuggets to now with Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos, we’re not just jumping on a trend – we’re redesigning it completely with the signature flavor of Taco Bell.”

In December 2024, Taco Bell introduced new chicken nuggets to its menu for a limited time.
