Taco Bell is currently testing its new crispy chicken nuggets.
The nuggets feature all-white chicken breast meat that's been marinated in spiced jalapeño buttermilk.

From birria-style tacos to a crunchy twist on empanadas, Taco Bell is always finding new ways to mix things up.

Now, the chain is putting its own spin on an essential fast-food menu item — the almighty chicken nugget.

And after trying it myself, I think it's safe to say that McDonald's, Popeyes, and Chick-fil-A should definitely be worried.

I got to try Taco Bell's crispy chicken nuggets during a recent preview tasting.
