Taco Bell Heats Things Up with Frank’s RedHot Crispy Chicken Lineup
Fast-food chains across the nation are embracing the crispy chicken craze, and Taco Bell is no exception. The beloved purveyor of Mexican-inspired fare is bringing back its popular Crispy Chicken, but this time with a fiery buffalo-wing-style twist, thanks to a collaboration with Frank’s RedHot. Get ready for a flavor explosion with these spicy new menu additions.
What’s the Scoop on Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken?
Taco Bell is reintroducing its fan-favorite Crispy Chicken, now in a convenient finger-like shape, making it ideal for stuffing into tacos and burritos. These aren’t your average nuggets; we’re talking about whole pieces of white meat chicken, marinated in jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a crunchy blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips.
Introducing the Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Burrito
Leading the charge in this spicy new lineup is the Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Burrito. This substantial wrap features two Crispy Chicken strips, purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, fresh pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and the star of the show: Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce. This unique sauce is a creamy fusion of Frank’s Original Buffalo Sauce, Taco Bell’s signature Diablo sauce, and a hint of spicy ranch – a combination designed to tantalize your taste buds.
While an Avocado Ranch sauce alternative is available, the Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce is undeniably the star.
Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco
For those who prefer a classic taco, the Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken Soft Taco offers a delicious option. It includes one Crispy Chicken strip, purple cabbage, lettuce, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and the unmistakable Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce, all nestled within a soft flour tortilla.
Frank’s RedHot Diablo Chicken Nacho Fries
Good news for Nacho Fries enthusiasts – they’re back! This iteration features a bed of seasoned fries generously topped with nacho cheese sauce, a shredded three-cheese blend, pico de gallo, Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce, and slow-roasted chicken. Note that this item features slow-roasted chicken rather than the Crispy Chicken strips, though adding a side of Crispy Chicken could offer a customizable upgrade.
Crispy Chicken Strips with Spicy Ranch
For those who want to add a kick to any menu item or simply enjoy the chicken on its own, four Crispy Chicken strips are available. They come with your choice of Frank’s RedHot Diablo sauce or spicy ranch for dipping, offering versatility for a personalized Taco Bell experience.
Availability of the Taco Bell Frank’s RedHot Menu
The Frank’s RedHot Diablo Crispy Chicken menu is set to launch on October 16, 2025. While the exact duration of its availability remains unconfirmed, it’s anticipated to be a limited-time offering, likely concluding around mid-November 2025 with the introduction of Taco Bell’s subsequent seasonal menu. However, rumors suggest the Crispy Chicken strips might extend their stay through January 2026.
