Taco Bell is bringing the heat for a limited time by taking its Crispy Chicken Nuggets to a fiery new level. The all-new Diablo Dusted Crispy Chicken Nuggets are a spicy remix of a fan favorite. They’re powered by Diablo Dust, which is the first-ever transformation of Taco Bell’s cult favorite Diablo Sauce into a bold dry seasoning. The spicy new menu item kicked off on April 16.
Taco Bell sauce packets are serious business. Since its 2015 debut, the fiery Diablo sauce has been a fan favorite. Now, nearly a decade later, it’s getting a makeover. Taco Bell is taking its beloved crispy chicken nuggets and coating them in a bold new Diablo Dust.

“Diablo Sauce has a cult following, it’s that lingering heat with a hint of lime. Turning that iconic flavor into a dust reimagines how that heat hits,” Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer, gushed in a press release. “By coating our nuggets with Diablo Dust, we’re unlocking a new level of intensity and opening the doors for even more creative, dusted flavor experiences with our Crispy Chicken. This is just the beginning!”
