By state
The median at the restaurants read in each state, for the 10 Piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets. Pick a state at the top of the board and every price on this site prints that state's figure.
What Taco Bell says it is
In the brand’s words: “A 10-piece order of Crispy Chicken Nuggets, featuring all-white-meat marinated chicken seasoned with bold Mexican spices and tossed in a crunchy tortilla chip coating. Served with 2 sauces of your choice.”
The two calorie figures
The ordering menu lists Crispy Chicken Nuggets at 1,060 calories. The nutrition record for the 10 Piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets alone is 640. The gap is not an error on either side: the listing prints the default build of the line, which is the 10 Piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets with 2 x Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch Sauce (420 cal, 210 each), and the nutrition record is the 10 Piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets by itself. Take the Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch Sauce off the order and the listing figure and the record agree.
Every figure on this page that is not the listing (the panel, the daily values, the rankings, the ticket total) uses the nutrition record for the 10 Piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets alone, and the ticket on this page prints both lines so the gap is visible rather than resolved. The nutrition menu carries two records under this name: 10 Piece at 640 calories and 5 Piece at 320 calories; the picker above the ticket switches the panel between them.
