Taco Bell's Crispy Chicken Returns with a Bold Twist

Taco Bell is set to delight its fans once again as the fan-favorite Crispy Chicken Soft Tacos, Burritos, Strips, and the newly added Nacho Fries make a grand return on October 16. This time, they're spicing things up with the exciting new Frank's RedHot® Diablo sauce, which brings a powerful combination of flavors to the menu.

The Crispy Chicken has always been a platform for bold culinary innovation at Taco Bell, and this collaboration with Frank's RedHot marks a significant addition to their menu.
