Say goodbye— if you haven’t already— to Taco Bell’s chicken wings. As of January 12th, the chain’s brand new menu item is no longer offered in stores.
Taco Bell first announced a seven-day stint of crispy wings on January 6th, and many fans rushed to try the limited-time offering. For a $5.99 price, customers received five bone-in wings coated in a queso seasoning and served with a spicy ranch dipping sauce.

On Twitter, Taco Bell frequenters seem to want the crispy wings back, and are still advocating for the return of the chain’s beloved Mexican pizza, a movement that even Dolly Parton recently got behind.
The country superstar said in a January 29th interview with Insider that while she usually orders a “Taco Supreme with a soft shell” at Taco Bell, she’d also love if the Mexican pizza (removed from the menu in November 2020 after 35 years) would come back.
The item featured ground beef and refried beans sandwiched between two tortilla shells topped with cheese, tomatoes, and pizza sauce. When asked if she thought Taco Bell should bring back one of her “favorite” items, the Mexican Pizza, Parton immediately replied, “I think they should!”

Time will tell if Taco Bell ever brings back its crispy chicken wings or the Mexican pizza, but for now, the chain just announced the new Taco Lover’s Pass in its app. For $10 a month, this feature allows the user to get one taco (any one of its 7 taco options) every day for 30 days.
For those who desperately want the Mexican pizza to return to their local Taco Bell restaurant, several Change.org petitions aim to convince the chain to bring the menu item back. (We have to wonder, however, if the legendary Dolly Parton wants it to come back, shouldn’t that be enough?!)
