Taco Bell Exposes Themselves With New Fried Chicken Shell Chalupa

A while back, we discovered that Taco Bell was testing a Naked Chicken Shell  that replaced the traditional hard corn husk with a piece of fried chicken. Pretty dope concept, if you’re trying to cultivate that protein.

Taco Bell has now announced that they’ll be releasing their new Naked Chicken Chalupa nationwide at the end of the month featuring that very same fried chicken shell.

The shell boasts four ounces of marinated, all-white meat antibiotic free chicken that’s breaded and crisped. Inside the shell, the Chalupa features shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and a creamy avocado ranch.

You can find the Naked Chicken Chalupa at all participating Taco Bell locations on Jan. 26 for $2.99. The new item will also be featured in a $5 Box that comes with a Doritos Locos Taco, a Crunchy Taco, and a medium drink.
