Taco Bell Crispy Chicken Nuggets: Price and other details explored

The crispy chicken nuggets will be available for purchase as a standalone item as well as part of a combo.

If purchased as a standalone item, a five-count of the crispy chicken nuggets will set you back $3.99 and come with one dipping sauce. However, for the price of $6.99, you can get the 10-piece chicken nuggets along with two dipping sauces.

As part of a combo, you can purchase the 5 or 10-piece chicken nuggets along with regular nacho fries, nacho cheese sauce, and a large fountain drink. The price tag for this combo will either be $5.99 or $8.99, depending on the size of the combo purchased.

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.
