"Although we've been known as America's Slider experts for 97 years, our Original Chicken Rings have long been a fan favorite," said Jamie Richardson, White Castle vice president. "We recognize that it's time to give a nod to the growing following of these perfectly shaped dipping delights, and this bold new offer shows that the ring is the thing!"

In a sea of unimaginative nuggets, White Castle's Original Chicken Rings are made with all white meat chicken and breaded to perfection. Cravers have their choice of dipping sauces including bbq, honey mustard, ranch or zesty zing. The chain's bold new value deals include 12 Chicken Rings for just $2.99, and for those who are craving more, 20 Chicken Rings for $4.99 ($5.49 in New York, New Jersey and Chicago area Castles).

In addition to these Crave-able quantities, fans can get cool this summer with a full line-up of refreshing smoothies, including the return of the Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie! Served alongside Strawberry Banana and Peach, this favorite is back this summer and is blended with Country Time® lemonade, real Dole fruit and Yoplait yogurt.

"Nothing says summer like a cool treat and our smoothies are the perfect way to beat the heat and quench those summer cravings," said Richardson.

For a limited time, Cravers completing orders online or in the mobile app can Share A Meal and get 10 Original Sliders, 20 Chicken Rings and a sack of fries for the special price of $12.99, with no promotion code required. Visit White Castle's website for details and availability.
