COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 2, 2026--

White Castle, the family-owned Slider pioneer, is bringing a little Southwest sizzle to the Castle in the form of a brand-new Slider: the Chicken Fajita Slider.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260402672708/en/

Available for a limited time beginning April 6, the Chicken Fajita Slider invites Cravers to spice up their spring in a whole new way. This bold, flavor-packed creation features crispy, all-white meat chicken topped with grilled onions and peppers, jalapeño cheese and zesty green chili aioli. It’s a Southwest-inspired twist designed to deliver maximum Crave in every bite.

“We’re always looking for new ways to surprise and delight our Cravers,” said Jamie Richardson, chief marketing officer at White Castle. “The Chicken Fajita Slider brings bold flavor to our iconic Slider lineup while staying true to what we do best: delivering hot, tasty and affordable food that keeps people coming back for more.”

White Castle market tested the Chicken Fajita Slider in Indianapolis in 2021. While customers loved the Slider, a post-COVID ingredient shortage put the systemwide rollout on the back burner. A consumer survey in the fall of 2025, however, confirmed that it was time to introduce the Chicken Fajita Slider as a limited-time menu item in all of its markets.

The Chicken Fajita Slider, available at participating White Castles through June 14 or while supplies last, costs between $2.59 and $2.99, depending on the region.

White Castle also introduces brand-new Jalapeño Cravioli

In addition to the Chicken Fajita Slider, White Castle is introducing another brand-new, limited-time-only menu item — Jalapeño Cravioli. This tasty side dish is made from diced jalapeño peppers and cream cheese stuffed inside crispy, seasoned cornmeal breading and served with green chili aioli dipping sauce. It runs $1.99 for a small serving (five pieces) and $4.99 for a sack (14 pieces) and is available April 6 through June 14 (or while supplies last).

It's crunch time for a host of Bundesliga players with ambitions of playing at the World Cup.

Bayern Munich 18-year-old midfielder Lennart Karl is fighting to keep his spot for Germany, Deniz Undav's scoring streak for Stuttgart has put pressure on coach Julian Nagelsmann to take him to the U.S. in June, and Alejandro Grimaldo's form for Bayer Leverkusen could help him earn a spot for Spain.

Oh, and there's still a title to be won.

Bayern comes back into action after the international break with a vast 11-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. If Bayern wins its next two games and Dortmund loses both, the title could be Bayern's as soon as April 11.

Dortmund heads to Stuttgart needing points to keep pace with Bayern. Stuttgart's third, chasing Champions League qualification, and with a host of players chasing World Cup spots for Germany like Undav, Angelo Stiller, Jamie Leweling and Chris Führich. Dortmund's Carney Chukwuemeka's just made his Austria debut, too.

The tasks for Bayern at Freiburg on Saturday: Take care of business and avoid any more injuries ahead of next week's Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

Eintracht Frankfurt's World Cup hopefuls have a lot to aim for, even if the team doesn't in seventh place with a big gap to the European places. Hosting Cologne on Sunday is a chance to impress for players like Japan winger Ritsu Doan, who captained his country against England, Germany defender Nathaniel Brown and Belgium center back Arthur Theate.

Undav is a hot topic in Germany after scoring seven goals in Stuttgart's last six Bundesliga games and the winning goal in Germany's friendly win over Ghana on Monday. He's the second-highest scorer in the league but Nagelsmann still sees him as a bench option despite the up-and-down Germany form of Newcastle's Nick Woltemade.

The uncertain fitness of Jamal Musiala has opened up space for youngster Karl to impress for Bayern, and now for Germany, too. He combined well with Florian Wirtz on debut in last week's 4-3 win over Switzerland. Bayern teammate Serge Gnabry's stock for Germany is also rising.

Grimaldo played the full 90 minutes of Spain's 0-0 draw with Egypt and the Leverkusen left back returns to his club to push for Champions League qualification. That starts with hosting relegation-threatened Wolfsburg on Saturday.

He's not confirmed out just yet but the “minor issue” that ruled Harry Kane out of England's friendly loss to Japan could be a concern for Bayern coach Vincent Kompany.

Bayern's goalkeeping situation remains a concern, too. Manuel Neuer has been working his way back to fitness after not playing since March 6 and stand-in Jonas Urbig had a setback when a knee injury forced him out of Germany's squad.

It's the first game of a new era at Dortmund after Ole Book replaced Sebastian Kehl as sporting director. The future of defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who has a year left on his contract, is as unclear as ever.

The Easter holidays in Germany mean a tweak to the Bundesliga schedule. Instead of the usual Friday game, there are seven on Saturday and two on Sunday.
