Taco Bell has just announced today that they are testing the new Chile Crisp Chicken Strips and new Chile Crisp Chicken Tacos in Southern California.
Now even though it is being tested in Southern California, there is actually only one location that is doing the test. And that location is in Newport Beach, California, where the test will go on for one week long or until supplies last starting on August 15, 2023.
The exact location for those wondering is located at 4101 Jamboree Road.
According to Taco Bell, it is described as a breaded chicken meat cooked in a “sweet, spicy, and citrusy sauce” made from a mix of guajillo, ancho and Anaheim peppers as well as some garlic and lime for flavor.
Here is a description of the items:
- Chile Crisp Chicken Strips – Features three pieces of chicken layered with the signature Chile Crisp Sauce, paired with a side of spicy ranch for dipping.
- Chile Crisp Chicken Tacos – Features a crispy chickens trip smothered in the signature Chile Crisp Sauce, topped with spicy ranch, lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese all bundled in a warm flour tortilla. You get two tacos per order.
