Slim Chickens is a fast casual chicken chain built around one simple idea: fresh chicken, cooked to order, with a long list of house sauces to dip it in. The tenders are marinated in buttermilk, hand-breaded in the kitchen and fried when you order rather than held under a heat lamp. Around that core, the menu covers wings, craft sandwiches, wraps, one signature salad, Southern sides, mac and cheese bowls, kids meals, hand-spun milkshakes, jar desserts, family packs and catering trays, and fresh brewed tea sold by the cup or by the gallon. This site gathers the whole menu in one place, with a typical US price for every item, so you can plan an order before you walk in or open a delivery app.
Start with the tenders
Tenders are the heart of the menu, and most first time orders start with a tender meal. The Chick’s Meal gives you three tenders with Texas toast, a side, one sauce and a drink for a typical $11.49. Step up to the Classic Meal at $12.99 for four tenders, the Slim’s Meal at $14.99 for five tenders and two sauces, or the Hungry Meal at $17.99 for seven tenders. If you want the chicken on its own, tenders come in threes, fives and sevens, and the smaller Tender Bites work well for sharing or for younger eaters. The Chicken and Waffles plate, at a typical $12.99, puts three tenders over a waffle with butter and syrup, and it has a loyal following of its own.
Wings and mixed meals
The wings are bone-in, fried and tossed in the sauce of your choice. A six wing meal runs a typical $15.99 and the eight wing meal runs $17.99, each with toast, a side, sauces and a drink. Cannot decide between wings and tenders? The mixed meals solve that problem. The 3 & 3 Meal at $16.49 and the 5 & 5 Meal at $19.49 pair wings with tenders on the same tray, and the tenders in those meals can come fried or grilled.
Sandwiches and wraps
The sandwich line is built on the same hand-breaded chicken breast. The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is the simple one, with pickles and ranch mayo, at a typical $7.99. The Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwich at $9.99 is the signature spicy option, with Cayenne Ranch sauce doing the heavy lifting. The Chicken Club Sandwich at $11.49 adds bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Every sandwich can become a meal with a side and a drink for a few dollars more. The wraps take chopped tenders into a grilled tortilla: the Slim’s Wrap at $10.99, or as a meal with a side and a drink at $13.99. Featured wraps rotate through locations from time to time.
Salads, sides and mac bowls
The Slim’s Salad at $13.49 is the one full size salad on the menu, with your choice of grilled or fried tenders over fresh greens with cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, fried onions and croutons. Sides are Southern and familiar: seasoned fries, mac and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, ranch chips, fried pickles, fried okra, fried mushrooms and Texas toast, mostly between $3.49 and $7.99 for a regular size. The mac and cheese bowls turn that side into a main course, topped with chopped tenders, at $12.49 for the Tender Mac and Cheese Bowl Meal and $13.49 for the Buffalo version.
Kids, shakes, desserts and tea
Kids meals keep things simple: a Kids Tender Meal or Kids Tender Bite Meal at a typical $7.99 each, and a Kids Mac at $6.99. For dessert, the hand-spun milkshakes come in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and OREO at $5.99 each, and the jar desserts layer cheesecake, brownie pudding or banana pudding in a jar you can take home, at $8.79 to $8.99, or $28.89 for a four pack. The drink menu is anchored by fresh brewed tea: sweet, unsweet, peach and raspberry, plus lemonade and fountain drinks. Feeding a group? A gallon of sweet tea runs a typical $8.99, and gallons of lemonade and flavored tea sit alongside it on the catering side of the menu.
How to use this site
Every category has its own page with item by item prices, descriptions and notes on where prices tend to run higher. The prices page puts the full list in one table. The nutrition page gathers the calorie figures that are publicly published for Slim Chickens items and is honest about the items where no figure is published. The allergens page collects the chain’s official allergen information, and the catering page covers the party trays, family packs and boxed meals for groups. Wherever you see a price on this site, read it as typical rather than exact. Prices at Slim Chickens are set by each franchise location, so the figure you see in a restaurant in Arkansas can differ from the figure in Texas or Colorado. Delivery apps add their own markup on top, which is why the same meal can look one to three dollars higher on a delivery listing than it does on the board in the restaurant. On this site we publish a typical price for every item: a mid figure taken from several public listings across different states, checked in October 2026. Use these figures to plan your order and compare items with each other, then confirm the exact price at your local restaurant or in the official app before you pay. That habit will save you from surprises, because limited time items, featured items and seasonal items can change price or leave the menu without much notice.
A quick word on sauces
Ask regulars what makes Slim Chickens different and many of them will point at the sauce list. The house sauces run from mild to hot: Slim Sauce is the original, a smooth sauce with herb and tomato notes and a gentle pepper kick. Ranch and Cayenne Ranch cover the creamy end, Honey Mustard and Gravy sit in the middle, and Buffalo and Hot serve the heat seekers, with flavors like Mango Habanero, Korean BBQ, Garlic Parmesan and Sweet Red Chili in between. The full list of all 16 house sauces, with prices and published calories, has its own sauces page. Meals include one or two sauces, and extra sauce cups cost a typical $0.69 each, so trying a new flavor is a cheap experiment.
