The White Castle Crispy Chicken Slider has been added to the QSR brand's permanent menu as its newest slider-style sandwich that prioritizes a satisfying meal experience. The mini slider-style sandwich starts off with a bun topped with an all-white meat chicken fillet covered in a buttermilk breading before being fried to perfection. The sandwich is then paired with an all-new honeycomb mustard sauce to finish, but can also be upgraded for $0.20 more into the Deluxe Crispy Chicken Slider with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
Vice President Jamie Richardson spoke on the White Castle Crispy Chicken Slider saying, "This isn’t just an update — it’s an upgrade. We’ve listened to our Cravers, and our culinary team has over delivered. They have crafted a chicken Slider that elevates our Crave quotient and will have customers clamoring for more. And all for a price that’s a great value.”
