Taco Bell is bringing back its popular Crispy Chicken, this time paired with a new Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce that combines Buffalo flavor, Taco Bell’s Diablo kick, and creamy ranch. The new menu items launch nationwide on October 16.
The Frank’s RedHot Diablo lineup adds the brand’s signature heat to Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Burritos, Soft Tacos, Strips, and Nacho Fries.
Crispy Chicken, made from all-white meat marinated in jalapeno buttermilk and coated in a crunchy blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips, has been a recurring fan favorite. Taco Bell Global Chief Food Innovation Officer Liz Matthews said the chain’s sauces are a “core part of the Taco Bell experience,” adding that the latest Crispy Chicken collaboration continues its streak of flavor experimentation.
