Taco Bell Has New Chicken Nuggets & Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Sauce

— December 8, 2024 — Lifestyle
Taco Bell is joining other fast food brands and adding Chicken Nuggets to its menu, along with the flavorful new Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Sauce.

At this point, virtually every QSR brand has some kind of chicken tender on the menu, so what makes Taco Bell's new addition so noteworthy? According to the brand, Taco Bell's new Chicken Nuggets are made from pieces of tender chicken breast marinated in a rich jalapeño buttermilk that adds a touch of spice. The brand is also serving up three exciting dip options for its Chicken Nuggets: Jalapeño Honey Mustard, Taco Bell’s Bell Sauce, and Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Sauce. The later is actually a brand new dip, which is a spicy take on ranch.
