Taco Bell Jumps on Fried Chicken Craze with Crispy Tortilla Chicken
By Travis Riffe • November 22, 2019
Taco Bell is looking to get in on the fast food chicken sandwich wars, fast-tracking a test of fried chicken strips with a new spicy dipping sauce. Their new “Crispy Tortilla Chicken Strips” are made up of all-white meat chicken, which is marinated in tangy jalapeño buttermilk and then rolled in a blend of panko bread crumbs and crushed white tortilla chips, and served with a new Creamy Chilli Pepper dipping sauce. The chicken strips debuted on Thursday, 11/21, in more than 170 restaurants in Houston and Dayton, Ohio. After testing, the brand hopes to launch the strips nationwide by summer 2020.
