Taco Bell unveils surprising new menu items that threaten McDonald's
Food trends come and go, but one reigns supreme, still beloved by adults and kids alike. Maybe it's nostalgia or the food's simplicity. Either way, nothing is more irresistible than crispy chicken, and Taco Bell is determined to make its version the best on the market. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter A growing chicken trend has emerged among fast-food chains, with major players like Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, McDonald's (MCD) , and Restaurant Brands International's (QSR) Burger King and Popeyes focusing on launching new chicken-based products to dominate the sector. Related: Taco Bell reveals 30 new menu items launching in 2025 As a fast-food leader, Taco Bell decided to enter the chicken game. However, it isn't just hopping on a trend; it's creating a version with its own unmistakable flavor. Crispy Chicken Nuggets first debuted on Taco Bell's menu in December of last year, and while available, they made up nearly one in six orders. This menu item was so successful that almost 5 million customers tried it, which caused it to sell out nationwide in under a week. The product's success might be due to its uniqueness, since Taco Bell tested over 50 recipes and flavor combinations to make the nuggets stand out from the rest. Related: Taco Bell menu adds more items customers demanded Taco Bell's Crispy Chicken Nuggets are made with all-white meat chicken marinated in jalapeño buttermilk and coated in a crunchy tortilla-chip and breadcrumb blend. Because of how much fans love the Crispy Chicken Nuggets, Taco Bell relaunched them for a limited time in April. The demand was so overwhelming that it decided to expand the product even further. Yum! Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell is launching the new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos, featuring the fan-favorite Crispy Chicken Nuggets in strip form. The Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos are filled with Crispy Chicken Strips, purple cabbage, crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheddar cheese, all folded or wrapped inside a warm tortilla. Everyone knows no Taco Bell meal is complete without a good dipping sauce, so in addition to the new items, the fast-food chain is also introducing two new sauces: Spicy Ranchero and Avocado Ranch. "Crispy chicken is having a moment, but our fans made it a movement," said Taco Bell's Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery in a press release. "So, we decided to bring our sell-out Nuggets recipe to the formats that defined our brand because true innovation means elevating the icons, not replacing them. We're not like every other chicken spot out there; we're doing crispy chicken the only way we know how: full of flavor and unmistakably Taco Bell."

New in town: Uncle Lim's Diner – huge $7.90 chicken cutlets in Bukit Merah
On 3 Jun, 2 months after starting business, Uncle Lim's Diner has finally opened a physical stall at a coffeeshop in Lengkok Bahru. It serves familiar Western comfort dishes ranging from chicken cutlets to pan-seared salmon at hawker prices. This stall is run by a couple who have been selling these Western-inspired dishes from their home in Woodlands since April 2025. Customers could only place their orders through GrabFood or by contacting Jeremy (Uncle Lim) directly for self-pickup, which made it inaccessible to those living beyond the Woodlands vicinity. Uncle Lim's Diner's very first outlet in Bukit Merah, though still not in a central location, at least allows patrons to feast on warm, freshly cooked meals on the spot. Even if you're unfamiliar with the area, it'll be hard to miss their neon red signboard adorned with a checkered border, reminiscent of an old-school Western diner in the U.S. It's giving retro, and I love it! I'm dying to try their Crispy Chicken Cutlet w/ Fries (S$7.90). For this large portion, in this economy? Bang for your buck indeed. The cutlet comes with a generous portion of marie rose aioli on top, which is essentially a more atas version of your mayochup (mayonnaise + ketchup). How often can you find salmon in a kopitiam? At Uncle Lim's Diner, the Pan-seared Salmon (S$12.50) comes with home-made Coleslaw and your choice of side between Fries, Pilaf Rice, Aglio Olio and Mashed Potatoes, all at the same price. Don't overlook their sides either, especially the Nacho Chips (S$6.50) and Fries Grande (S$6), which come with Uncle Lim's home-made Guacamole. Students in the area, let this be your next after-school lunch fix! Simply flash your student ID to redeem 10% off your meal. Not a student? Uncle Lim's S$5 Chicken Wing w/ Pilaf Rice budget meal is your best bud. Head down to support Uncle Lim's Diner's opening for XL chicken cutlets and an old-school retro vibe!
