"Crispy chicken strips will be returning to Taco Bell on Thursday, Oct. 16. This time around, the Irvine-based fast food giant is partnering with Frank's RedHot, a hot sauce brand that dates from 1920 and takes credit for being used in the first Buffalo hot wings recipe. Taco Bell describes the new Frank's RedHot Diablo Sauce as a mashup of Frank's original Buffalo flavor, its own Diablo sauce and spicy ranch dressing."
"Frank's RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Burrito is served in a flour tortilla with lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cheddar cheese for about $5.49. Taco Bell prices vary by location. Frank's RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco comes in a soft flour tortilla for $2.99. Frank's RedHot Diablo Chicken Nacho Fries features slow-roasted chicken and nacho cheese sauce for $4.99. Crispy Chicken Strips with Spicy Ranch costs $6.99. The sauce can be upgraded to Frank's RedHot Diablo."
"Taco Bell has been flirting with crispy chicken strips and nuggets throughout 2025 as it faces a looming goal to make crispy chicken a permanent part of its menu in 2026. Slow-roasted chicken is currently featured in tacos, burritos and quesadillas on the chain's Cantina Chicken Menu. The last time Taco Bell brought back crispy chicken was in July, when it introduced Sweet Chipotle BBQ Sauce."
Taco Bell is reintroducing crispy chicken strips on Oct. 16 in a collaboration with Frank's RedHot that features a new Frank's RedHot Diablo Sauce blending Buffalo flavor, Taco Bell's Diablo sauce and spicy ranch. The Diablo sauce appears on four limited-time items at participating locations: a Crispy Chicken Burrito with lettuce, purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cheddar; a Crispy Chicken Soft Taco; Chicken Nacho Fries with slow-roasted chicken and nacho cheese; and Crispy Chicken Strips served with Spicy Ranch. Prices vary by location and the chain has pursued crispy chicken options throughout 2025 ahead of plans for 2026.
