Rating: 4 out of 5 – good
My experiences with White Castle sides haven’t been all that encouraging in the past, but people can let bygones be bygones when they’re hungry (and sitting on a coupon that’s about to expire). So what happened here? Not only were these chicken rings from White Castle hot and fresh outta the fryer, but they compared nicely to McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets in taste and texture, if not in overall shape. In fact, I was so busy gobbling ‘em up and taking pics that I didn’t bother to check ‘n’ see whether I got six rings or not with my order. Regardless of how many I got, they were all pretty good.
