Speaking about this new launch, Taco Bell Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery shared his thoughts.
"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."
So far, the response to this new launch has been quite positive, and fans are hoping the item makes it to the Taco Bell menu permanently.
