Taco Bell brings back naked chicken

Taco Bell is adding new menu items featuring its naked chicken for a limited time.

Available nationwide, its new crispy chicken quesadilla includes a three-cheese blend and creamy jalapeno sauce with crispy naked chicken chips. Consumers can also purchase naked chicken chips by themselves as a snack or a side.

The chain is also releasing two new naked chicken-themed menu items at select locations. Guests visiting the chain’s Indianapolis locations will be able to try the new chicken and biscuits menu item, which includes biscuit triangles paired with naked chicken chips and either sweet and spicy jalapeno honey or nacho cheese dipping sauce.

Consumers in Knoxville, Tenn., will be able to test out the chain’s new bacon ranch naked chicken chalupa, which features spicy ranch, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and cheddar cheese between a crispy chicken shell.

The menu items will be available until mid-November.
