With all the summer menu releases we’ve had so far, this season is sure going to be great! There’s tons of new food and drinks to try from lots of different brands. But right now, White Castle is throwing their hat into the ring by having a big release of their own.
White Castle is spicing things up this summer by introducing their new Smoky BBQ Chicken Rings and bringing back the popular Hidden Valley Ranch Chicken Rings! These Smoky BBQ Chicken Rings are made from all-white meat chicken, shaped into rings, lightly breaded and coated with White Castle’s own signature blend of flavorful spices. Best described as the perfect balance between sweet and spicy, these new Chicken Rings are guaranteed to give a bold taste. On the other hand, you have the Hidden Valley Chicken Rings. Made with the same all-white meat chicken but it’s seasoned with a mix of garlic, onion chives, and a hint of buttermilk to truly capture the authentic taste of Hidden Valley Ranch.
Sound good? You bet it is! These chicken rings are available in packs of 12 for only $3.99 at participating White Castle locations, although prices may vary.
But that’s not all! White Castle also has a bunch of refreshing beverages to beat that summer heat. They’re giving us two great smoothie options to choose from: Strawberry Banana Smoothie or Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie. Both of them prepared with real fruits and yogurt. Smoothies aren’t really your thing? No problem. White Castle also offers half-gallon jugs of popular drink options like Minute Maid Lemonade, Peace Tea, and the new Hi-C Tropical.
As if all those wasn’t enough, White Castle also has something in store for anyone who’s looking to order meals for a family or group setting. You can get the Shareable Meal #9 which includes 10 steam-grilled Original Sliders, 20 Chicken Rings, and a sack of crispy crinkle-cut fries. It’s both convenient and affordable; perfect for all your summer gatherings.
So what’s stopping you from trying these out? Go and head to your nearest White Castle location to try all the new stuff on their menu this summer!
The Return of the Hidden Valley Chicken Rings
Hidden Valley Chicken Rings have been fan favorites ever since White Castle introduced them to their menu back in 2023. It has a very distinct blend of spices and seasonings that captures Hidden Valley’s popular Ranch dressing. It really does go well with White Castle’s all-white meat chicken. According to Chef Phillip Bach, Head Chef and Director of Product Innovation at White Castle, these new flavors were meticulously crafted and perfectly showcases their culinary team’s creativity through bold flavors.
Obviously, Hidden Valley is pretty famous for their line of ranch dressing. It’s at the top of most people’s list of different ranches! Famous for their herbaceous, peppery, and familiar flavors, it’s hard to imagine any other ranch beating out Hidden Valley’s.

From Sliders to Headlines
In the last two years, White Castle frequently made headlines with their menu innovations and promotional deals. Like in 2021, when they reintroduced a popular discontinued menu item with the Ghost Pepper Cheese Slider. It was massive news back then and definitely had fans stirring on and off the internet.
The brand isn’t just about coming up with exciting new flavors. They’re also known for commemorating their heritage. White Castle is credited as being the oldest and being the first ever fast food outlet. They’ve been in the game for so long that it’s still jaw-dropping to believe hat they’ve been around for more than a hundred years. So to celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2022, they offered special deals and prices for their famous sliders. This is to honor the customers who supported them and contributed to their lasting presence in the industry.
From The Club
If there’s anything I love more than White Castle’s Sliders, it’s their famous Chicken Rings. I think they’re a pretty underrated side dish and should be a menu item for most, if not all, other fast food chains. So when they introduced a new flavor with the Smoky BBQ Chicken Rings, you bet I was excited. But, for me, the real star of the show is the return of their Hidden Valley Ranch Chicken Rings! I loved them when they first came out and seeing them back on White Castle’s menu is definitely amazing.
