Beginning in the Delta and now spanning virtually the entire United States, Slim Chickens is a casual-fast food restaurant chain. Slim Chickens specializes in chicken & waffles, chicken, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, salads, and more. There are currently over one hundred separate locations of Slim Chickens. There is a good chance you can visit one at various spots throughout the nation.
Slim Chickens—founded by Greg Smart and Tom Gorden— was born of the two friends’ mission of making the best hand-breaded chicken ever. Using only the freshest ingredients, all served in the most friendly atmosphere possible. The idea was to create a restaurant where guests could relax and feel at home, all while enjoying amazingly delicious chicken.
The 100% all-natural premium tenders are the foundation of what makes this chicken different. This is the best cut you can get for tenders. Added to this is the time-tested recipe that has quickly become a household favorite. The flavor is then locked in with the southern-style buttermilk marinade. Each order is lightly breaded by hand.
In addition to ordering for yourself or eating inside a franchise location, Slim Chickens also offers catering-sized portions that allow you to order this delicious food for your next get-together or party. Catering from Slim Chickens is ideal for a party of any size. There is something for everyone from their famous chicken to fresh salads and wraps to their delicious desserts. Catering can also be brought right to you via delivery.
