We tried Taco Bell's controversial new fried chicken shell chalupa - and we were shocked by the results

This is it: the long-awaited Naked Chicken Chalupa from Taco Bell is here.

After two years of tests, the Mexican fast-food chain is finally launching the most controversial chalupa yet.

Instead of a traditional tortilla shell, the Naked Chicken Chalupa uses just that - a fried chicken shell wrapped around lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.

As news of the product's test leaked, many found themselves puzzled or disgusted by the concept.

So when Taco Bell gave us a chance to try it days before its January 26 launch, we jumped at the chance to discover if it lives up to the infamous hype.
