Taco Bell Is Testing An Unexpected Treat

Taco Bell has to be one of the most innovative fast-food restaurants in the game. They seem to be at the forefront of creativity in the fast-food world. They've came out with taco shells that are Doritos, Nacho Fries, and now chicken nuggets?

Crispy Chicken Nuggets are being tested at locations in Houston, Texas. Could they be coming to a location near you? Are they any good? Is it even Mexican food? There are lots of questions about the latest creation at Taco Bell, hopefully we can find some answers.

First, let me say they don't look bad! Sure, you can't judge a book by its cover so you have to use some caution. However, I've seen much worse looking chicken nuggets from restaurants that allegedly specialize in chicken!

According to Chew Boom, Taco Bell tested Crispy Chicken Nuggets in the Minneapolis area last year, and now they're giving it a try in Houston, Texas. Now, I'm not trying to judge or anything but one has to imagine people in Houston, Texas know a little more about quality Mexican food than their counterparts up in Minnesota. Granted, are these nuggets even supposed to be Mexican?

The answer to that is a surprising: yes. These Taco Bell nuggets aren't your ordinary nuggets! Chew Boom says they're made from premium all-white meat marinated chicken that's infused with a mild jalapeno buttermilk marinade, it's then coated in a golden crispy layer featuring crunchy tortilla bits. Okay, I'll count that as a Mexican Chicken Nugget! The pepper and the tortilla chips are enough to have it qualify, in my opinion.

Currently, the 5-piece nuggets are available for $3.49-$3.99, the 10-piece nuggets for $6.49-$6.99, and there are premium meals being offered at participating locations, per Chew Boom. Check out what the Taco Bell chicken nuggets look like below!

Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you're on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there's nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.

We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I've seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald's bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day...we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.

I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I'd say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old "back in my day, we'd walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. "When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!"

After years of research, I've finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you'll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the 'miscellaneous' category. Without further delay, let's get to the list!

Bacon...mayo...crispy lettuce...what's not to love? It's one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it's on the value menu.

It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

It's actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that's for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.

It's delicious and it's only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.

It's a rare treat to enjoy Culver's Cheese Curds. It's a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can't get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver's I have to stop and get some.
