Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings bring bold flavor

Food collaborations bring excitement across the aisle. With the new Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings, the flavor has everyone grabbing a handful and thinking about ways to enjoy them beyond the snack bowl.

Over the years, the Funyuns, the Frito-Lay snack, has been transformed in many ways. Collaborations with other Frito-Lay brands have showcased that tangy, oniony flavor to chips. It is fun way to see that craveable snack go beyond the “o” shape.

With the new Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings, the collaboration with the popular ramen brand is not only bringing another take on the spicy food trend, but it invites a conversation about the versatility that Funyuns offers. From a snack to a topping, it might be smart to buy a few extra bags before this flavor disappears.

First and foremost, the new flavor captures that classic Maruchan taste. It has heat, but it is not overpowering. It is warm, tangy, and definitely makes you go back for more.

Additionally, the chicken note is there, but not necessarily overly noticeable. It is subtle, savory flavor that makes it easy to eat, and eat another handful.

Could people add some crumbled pieces on top of ramen for extra flavor? Absolutely, the idea is the first thought that everyone around our table considered. Instead of some wonton strips or other crunchy bits, it is a good crunch and a flavor enhancer.

For a completely different take, we made some elote with the Funyons. Anyone who has not used Funyuns as a crunchy topping, including for elote, needs to try this idea. Cheetos, especially Flamin Hot Cheetos, have been a common option. The Funyuns add an extra tanginess, crunch, and less saltiness.

By using the Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings, the slightly spicy, savory choice added a great contrast to the sweet corn. With a little cojita cheese and the charred corn, it is the perfect side dish for a summer barbecue.

Hungry to try the new Funyuns x Maruchan Hot & Spicy Chicken Ramen Onion Flavored Rings? The snack is rolling out on store shelves now. It should be available nationally by August 5. The snack food is available in three different bag sizes and prices vary.
