Leaning into the growing popularity of fast-food chicken sandwiches, chain restaurant White Castle is debuting its new Crispy Chicken Slider, the first new permanent menu item in three years.

The new Crispy Chicken Slider is bigger and crispier than its predecessor and features all-white meat chicken coated in a crispy buttermilk breading and drizzled with White Castle's new honeycomb mustard sauce

"This isn't just an update — it's an upgrade," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "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."

While the Crispy Chicken Slider brings a bigger bite and irresistible flavor, it is priced at $0.10 less than the previous version, responding to customer demand for value-driven meals.

White Castle is also dropping limited-edition "Crispy Chicken Summer" swag, available at HouseOfCrave.com. Available branded merchandise for the ultimate slider fan includes a beach towel, hat, keychain and sticker sheet.

"We always aim to bring the fun with the flavor," said Richardson. "This summer, we're delivering both — in the Castle and at your doorstep."
