Taco Bell Has an All-New Menu Item for a Limited Time
Taco Bell is leaning heavily into chicken this year with the return of the Crispy Chicken Nuggets. At Live Más Live, Taco Bell announced its plans to release a new dipping sauce for the fan-loved nuggets. The sauce, made in partnership with a fan-favorite brand, is available at Taco Bell restaurants nationwide Bell seems to be in the middle of an all-out chicken renaissance. From its Cantina Chicken menu, with newly added Caliente Cantina Chicken, to the returning Crispy Chicken Nuggets, which fans are desperate to get their hands on after selling out quickly in 2024, our favorite taco joint might slowly be becoming our favorite chicken joint, too. At Live Más Live in March, Taco Bell teased plenty of new innovations, including the announcement that some kind of crispy chicken will be joining the permanent menu by 2026. While we await to learn just which chicken offering will be a Taco Bell mainstay—our hope is the new chicken strips the chain tested in Indianapolis, but it's currently testing new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos in Charlotte, North Carolina, too—the Bell is still releasing new menu items to go with its Crispy Chicken Nuggets, which are available for a limited time. At Live Más Live, we learned that Taco Bell would be playing with more sauce combinations this year. The first one is finally here, and it features an epic collaboration. Taco Bell is releasing new Mike's Hot Honey Diablo Sauce. Between Jersey Mike's, KFC, Red Robin, and Dunkin' we aren't sure how Mike keeps up with all the brand collaborations for his sweet and spicy condiment. Yet, even with Mike's Hot Honey popping up on multiple menus, there's still demand for more "swicy" foods—and, clearly, Mike does it best. For the new sauce, Taco Bell is combining the fan-loved hot honey with one of its most iconic sauces: Diablo. The chain's Diablo Sauce is its spiciest offering, but Mike's Hot Honey cuts the heat in a new, irresistible way. While Mike's Hot Honey can be found on other restaurant menus, this is the first time the brand is remixing its own condiment to create an all-new sauce. The spicy, smoky, slightly sweet sauce joins menus on May 22 for a limited time, where it will be available as a fourth dipping option for the Crispy Chicken Nuggets alongside the current Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce, Bell Sauce, and Jalapeño Honey Mustard. Mike's Hot Honey Diablo Sauce can also be ordered à la carte for an upcharge of 25 cents. As with all of Taco Bell's sauce packets and cups, the new Mike's Hot Honey Diablo Sauce is part of the Taco Bell Sauce Container US Recycling Program with TerraCycle. That means once you finish dipping in the swicy condiment, you can mail the empty cup to be recycled—and have a chance to earn extra Taco Bell rewards points. So we guess we're eating delicious food and saving the planet, just one order of chicken nuggets and dipping sauce at a time. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES

Popular fast food chain offers FREE sweet American product to customers – but you'll have to be quick
Read below to find out how you can bag this offer FREE FOOD Popular fast food chain offers FREE sweet American product to customers – but you'll have to be quick Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR fast food chain is giving out one of their much-loved sweet treats for free to customers around the UK. American fried chicken brand, Popeyes, is hoping to clear up the confusion around this menu item for its British customers through this offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Thousands of biscuits are up for grabs for free Credit: Supplied 4 The Biscuit and Hot Honey can also be had with Nutella, jam or gravy from Popeyes Credit: Supplied Popeyes UK is giving away 10,000 of its US-style Biscuit and Hot Honey for free in the lead up to National Biscuit Day on Thursday May 29. This is the perfect opportunity for Brits to try the American delicacy that has been around since the 1800s, but you have to get in quick. It comes as new research revealed 94% of the nation have claimed to love biscuits, with two-in-five saying they would rather give up social media than this iconic sweet treat. However, two-thirds do not actually know what the US-style biscuit is. Most think it is a scone that should be served with cream. The Popeyes Biscuit has been considered a heritage menu item for the fast-food chain since it first opened in 1972. Their item is actually commonly served as a side with fried chicken, likened to a British scone with its fluffy and buttery texture. However, the US-style biscuit has a buttermilk base, making it lighter with a creamier consistency. On top of that, as a traditional Southern side to fried chicken, it is often served with Cajun Gravy, or can be enjoyed with sweet toppings like hot honey or Nutella for breakfast. Inside Popeye's first UK restaurant as we try the menu – and the fried chicken is better than KFC Head of Food at Popeyes UK, Dave Hoskins, said: "At first glance, they do look very similar to the traditional scone, so it's no surprise fans this side of the pond often ask about them. "However, the Biscuit was one of our most requested items when we first announced we were coming to the UK. "So what better time than National Biscuit Day to clear up the confusion and give Brits the chance to taste the difference for themselves, with thousands of Biscuits up for grabs.' Rather than being crumbly and sweet, the Popeyes Biscuit is buttery and savoury. But you can give it a try for yourself for free by downloading and registering in The Popeyes UK app by National Biscuit Day to be in the chance to try it for free. You just have to have registered an account by midnight on May 28 to be entered, and there is only one entry per person. It is also available to order for £1.79 all day, via the app, delivery or at over 65 Popeyes restaurants around the country. This comes as Popeyes has started to expand in the UK, with 45 restaurants announced to open this year. It first came across the point in 2021 with a site in Stratford, but now has several dine-in restaurants, drive-thrus and delivery kithcens. 4 Popeyes has become famous for its unique New Orleans-style menu featuring its iconic Chicken Sandwich, wings, tenders and traditional biscuits Credit: Supplied
