Preparing for a Super Bowl watch party, or tailgate spread, means ticking off a list of classic menu items. You’ve got your cheesy Rotel Sausage Dip, pigs in a blanket, jalapeño poppers, and Buffalo Chicken Dip (we’ve got the Publix copycat). And then you’re probably also supplementing the table with chicken wings or boneless nuggets. You can make your own from scratch, of course, or you can call in the pros for a little something special.
A year after their launch of Crispy Chicken, Taco Bell just announced their unique tortilla-chip-crusted Crispy Chicken Nuggets are back and ready to dip.

According to a press release from the company, Taco Bell nuggets are made with “premium all-white-meat chicken and Taco Bell’s signature tortilla-chip-flaked breading,” for a tender, crunchy bite packed with protein. The Crispy Chicken line from the fast-food chain quickly reached smash-hit status—Taco Bell has sold over 70 million Crispy Chicken menu items since the 2025 launch. The company also reports that the chicken accounts for nearly 25% of its new customers. (We know a thing or two about a perfectly fried, crisp chicken.)
Alongside these fan-favorite Taco Bell nuggets, a bold new dipping option is also making its way across the country: Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch Sauce. In collaboration with Hidden Valley Ranch, this new creamy-spicy sauce uses Taco Bell’s signature smoky Diablo heat to take your nuggets to the next level.
“Over the past year, our Crispy Chicken has built a loyal fanbase faster than we could’ve imagined—and we’re just getting started,” said Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer. “Bringing back Crispy Chicken Nuggets while leveling up our collab with Hidden Valley Ranch is our way of doubling down on what fans are clearly craving: big flavor, bold heat, and unexpected twists that only Taco Bell can deliver.”
You can pick up these beloved nuggets in multiple size options, with Taco Bell’s full suite of signature sauces:
