Taco Bell Is Making a Taco Shell Out of Fried Chicken
Isn’t this one of the seven signs of the apocalypse?

Dubbed the “Naked Chicken Chalupa, the Tex-Mex chain is rolling out their new artery-clogging creation in an attempt to appease the nation’s record-high demand for poultry.

Whether you’re looking to satiate a new-found craving, or you’re just plain curious, Business Wire reports that the new item will be available for $2.99 nationwide when it debuts January 26.
