Crafted using all-white meat chicken, the first version of the rings is meticulously coated with a unique blend of buttermilk, garlic, and a carefully curated selection of herbs and spices from Hidden Valley. In contrast, the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Rings deliver a bold and fiery flavor experience. Featuring all-white meat chicken enveloped in a crispy breading, these rings are coated with a tantalizing combination of cayenne pepper, vinegar, garlic, and paprika.
