Update: We reviewed it! <\/a>Click here for our Chipotle Chickstar review.<\/b> <\/p>\n

Taco Bell’s new Crispy Chicken lineup features their new premium all white meat crispy chicken that’s been marinated in Mexican spices and has a crunchy coating made from corn tortilla chips.<\/p>\n

The Chickstar is pretty much a crispy chicken Crunchwrap and all come with Taco Bell’s new crispy chicken, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes in a soft tortilla that’s grilled. There are three varieties. One comes with a creamy chipotle sauce, another comes with bacon and a spicy ranch sauce, and the last one has a tangy mango BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n

Taco Bell’s Chipotle Chickstar has 760 calories, 43 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 1650 milligrams of sodium, 4 grams of fiber, and 25 grams of protein. The Bacon Ranch Chickstar has 830 calories, 47 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1860 milligrams of sodium, 4 grams of fiber, and 29 grams of protein. The Mango BBQ Chickstar has 650 calories, 26 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1620 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams of fiber, and 24 grams of protein. <\/p>\n

It has 720 calories, 42 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 1660 milligrams of sodium, 4 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 33 grams of protein.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/p>\n

Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Grillers are made up of a grilled flour tortilla, the new crispy chicken and one of four sauces — Jalape\u00f1o Honey, Mango BBQ, Spicy Ranch, or Chipotle.<\/p>\n

The Jalape\u00f1o Honey Crispy Chicken Griller has 250 calories, 10 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 600 milligrams of sodium, and 9 grams of protein. The Mango BBQ has 240 calories, 10 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 620 milligrams of sodium, and 9 grams of protein.
