Taco Bell is launching a limited-time chicken nugget offering to appeal to younger consumers who prefer chicken over beef.
Taco Bell is adding chicken nuggets to its menu nationwide for a limited time to appeal to younger eaters who prefer poultry to red meat. Taco Bell is veering away - slightly - from its Mexican-inspired cuisine, going all-American for its newest offering.

The three new dips are specially made for the chicken and include the chain's new, tangy signature dip Bell Sauce; a jalapeño-infused honey mustard sauce; and a new spicy ranch sauce made in partnership with Hidden Valley. Prices vary depending on the city, with Taco Bell suggesting a retail price of $3.99 for five nuggets with one sauce and $6.99 for 10 nuggets with two sauces. Also, a $10
