Slim Chickens Sides

Every tender and wing meal includes one side, and the side list is pure Southern comfort: seasoned fries, mac and cheese and potato salad cover the standard choices, while fried pickles, fried okra and fried mushrooms are the larger, shareable fried sides. Texas toast comes with the meals, and extra slices are the cheapest add-on on the whole menu. Most sides come in regular and large sizes, and the large sizes feed two to three people as a shared extra. A second sauce is the most common upgrade order in the restaurant, and extra cups now have their own page: the sauces page lists all 16 house sauces with prices and calories.

Good to know

If you only try one side, regulars tend to argue between the mac and cheese and the fried pickles. The mac and cheese is the safe crowd pleaser and the base of the mac bowls in the next section. The fried pickles are hand-breaded pickle chips with ranch, salty and sharp, and they travel well as a shared starter. Fried okra and fried mushrooms are the two sides people order out of curiosity and then reorder. On value, note that delivery platforms mark the fried sides up the most, so the gap between the typical prices below and a delivery total is widest in this section.

About these prices

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.
