(Oct. 14, 2025) – Taco Bell’s fan-favorite Crispy Chicken is back, now accompanied with Frank’s RedHot® Diablo – a creamy mashup of the original Buffalo flavor, Taco Bell’s signature Diablo sauce and spicy ranch. Perfect for drizzling or dunking, the sauce takes Crispy Chicken Burritos, Soft Tacos, Strips, and topped Nacho Fries into irresistible new territory. Hitting menus nationwide October 16, the Frank’s RedHot® Diablo lineup proves there are more ways than ever to enjoy Crispy Chicken at Taco Bell, one bold flavor drop at a time.
Crispy Chicken Greatness Backed By a Hot Sauce Legend
The new Frank’s RedHot® Diablo sauce fuses the Perfect Blend of Flavor and Heat™ of Frank’s RedHot® with Taco Bell’s smoky Diablo kick and spicy ranch, creating a creamy and balanced new companion for Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken. Frank’s RedHot® is the #1 hot sauce brand in the world** and a cult favorite. Frank’s RedHot® started the Buffalo wing craze in Buffalo, NY back in 1964 and the flavor has kept fans coming back for more ever since. Two flavor icons, one unexpected mashup that proves greatness is born in good company: Buffalo reimagined the Taco Bell way.
Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken starts with tender, all-white meat chicken, marinated in jalapeño buttermilk flavor and coated in a crunchy blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips – the same recipe fans have fallen in love with. That crispy, craveable foundation has become the stage for Taco Bell’s boldest sauce innovations, allowing for the most unexpected yet irresistible flavor pairings.
