Fried Chicken Club Sandwich 

This one is one of the most common or well-known secret menu items.  If you love the Fried Chicken Sandwich, but want to add some veggies to it, then this is the one for you. It’s a less healthy version of the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich. It includes fried chicken patty, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and cheese.

These secret menu items are so secret that some employees will have no idea what you are talking about if you ask for, lets say, “The Incredible Hulk.” It would be best if you know how to order these items and ask the Taco Bell employee if they can make it for you. If they say they can’t do that for you, you can simply go to a different Taco Bell or just ask for the secret menu item on a different day.
