Slim Chickens House Sauces

Slim Chickens House Sauces

Ask regulars what makes Slim Chickens different and most of them point at the sauce list. The chain built its name on fresh tenders plus a long bench of house sauces, and the current national menu names 16 of them, from the mild and creamy end (Ranch, Slim Sauce, Honey Mustard) through the middle (Cayenne Ranch, Buffalo, Korean BBQ) to the real heat (Mango Habanero and the sauce simply called Hot). Most meals include one or two sauces in the price, and an extra cup costs a typical $0.69, which makes working through the list a cheap hobby. This page lists every sauce on the current menu with its flavor profile, the published calorie figure for a standard 1.5 fl oz serving, and what an extra cup typically costs.

All 16 house sauces and typical prices

How to pick a sauce

Start where your heat comfort is. The mild bench (Ranch, Slim Sauce, Honey Mustard, Honey BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Blue Cheese, Gravy) carries no real heat, and Slim Sauce is the one to try first because it is the chain’s original recipe. The medium group (Cayenne Ranch, Buffalo, Spicy BBQ, Korean BBQ, Sweet Red Chili at the gentle end of it) adds warmth without taking over the chicken. Mango Habanero and Hot are the two that regulars warn newcomers about: both are genuinely hot, and Mango Habanero fools people because the first taste is sweet. A good strategy for a first visit is one mild and one medium cup with a tender meal, since most meals include two sauces at the larger sizes. Wing orders can be shaken in most of these sauces, and the dipping cup on the side can be a different flavor, which doubles the tasting for free.

Sauces you may still see at some locations

Sauce lists shift over time, and five more names show up in current ordering channels and location menus even though they are not on the national menu page right now: Inferno, a fiery blend of habanero, cayenne and jalapeno with a touch of sweetness; Sriracha Garlic, bold and tangy-sweet with a strong garlic hit; BBQ, a smoky and tangy classic that sits apart from Honey BBQ and Spicy BBQ; Hot Honey Ranch, a newer ranch blended with sweet honey and a touch of heat; and Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette, a raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing that contains nuts. If your local store lists one of these, it is a location or limited run item rather than a mistake.

Good to know

Calorie figures on this page come from the chain’s own published nutrition information and cover a standard 1.5 fl oz serving for the dipping sauces (the gravy serving is 3 fl oz). The two dressing packets are salad dressings rather than dipping sauces, but they are priced the same way when you order an extra. Sauces are also sold in packs for groups: a pack of 5 cups, 10 cups or 20 cups, which you will find with prices on the catering page. If you are watching allergens, note that most of the creamy sauces contain milk and egg; the full official allergen listing is on our allergens page.

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.

Slim Chickens Family Meals

Slim Chickens Family Meals

When the order is for the whole table, Slim Chickens sells four family packs that bundle tenders or Tender Bites with large sides, house sauces and Texas toast at one pack price. The packs are the cheapest way per person to feed a family from this menu, and every pack lets you choose tenders or a double count of Tender Bites for the chicken portion. One warning before the list: family pack prices swing more by location than almost anything else on the menu. The typical figures below come from the most common prices across more than twenty public store listings checked in October 2026, and the range under each pack shows how far a local price can move. Confirm the pack price at your own store before you count on it for a big order.

Items and typical prices

Good to know

The Grab & Go Pack is the entry point and comfortably feeds three to four people; the Southern Style Family Meal is the only pack that includes a drink (a full gallon of tea), which makes it the best value of the four at most stores. The Picnic Pack carries the most chicken but no drink, so add a gallon of tea from the drinks page if you need one. The Tailgate Pack is the game day choice because it is the only family pack that mixes wings in with the tenders. Large sides on family packs are usually a choice of mac and cheese or potato salad, and some stores also allow the other large sides. For bigger groups than a family, the party trays and catering boxes on the catering page scale further than these packs do.

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.

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. Family and catering prices are the most location dependent prices on the menu, so for pack orders the local check matters more than anywhere else.

Slim Chickens Catering and Party Trays

Slim Chickens Catering and Party Trays

Beyond the family packs, Slim Chickens runs a full catering line: trays of tenders, wings and Tender Bites, wrap and okra trays, crowd size pans of the Southern sides, sauce packs by the cup count, and boxed meals built for offices and events. This page lists the whole catering range with typical prices. Read the typical figures as planning numbers rather than quotes. Catering prices are the most location dependent prices on this menu: tray prices come from public store listings across many locations, while a few catering only items (the 100 count trays and the boxed meals) are not priced on store menus at all, so their figures come from catering listings and are marked as guides in the notes. Always confirm the final catering price, the serving counts and the ordering lead time with your local store before an event.

Items and typical prices

Good to know

For most events the math starts with the trays: a 25 Tenders tray covers about eight people, and the 100 count trays are the per person cheapest way to serve a large group. Boxed meals are the office option, because each box is a complete meal (chicken, chips and a dessert) that needs no serving setup. Two catering extras appear on some location menus without a published price anywhere we could find: a Paper Pack and a Beverage Pack, listed alongside catering orders at a few stores. If your store offers them, ask for the price when you place the order. Drinks scale through the gallons on the drinks page (sweet tea, unsweet tea, peach tea and lemonade by the gallon), and the family packs on the family meals page are the better buy for groups under about six people. Order catering ahead: tray and 100 count orders are not walk in items at most locations, and the store will confirm the exact price and pickup time when you order.

Slim Chickens Allergens

Slim Chickens Allergens

This page collects the allergen information Slim Chickens publishes for its own menu, item by item, so guests with food allergies can plan before they visit. Everything below comes from one source: the chain’s official Nutritional and Allergen Info page (slimchickens.com/nutritional-and-allergen-info/), read in October 2026. That page shows no publication or version date, and recipes, suppliers and store practices change, so treat this page as a planning guide and always confirm with the restaurant before you order, especially for a severe allergy. This is an unofficial guide site and this page is not medical advice.

The chain’s official allergy notice

Slim Chickens states that all of its menu items are crafted in the same kitchen, and its official notice says: items may contain milk, eggs, wheat, soybean, fish, shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and/or peanuts. The chain says it uses only trans-fat-free soybean oil and does not use peanut oil in its kitchen, but because cooking and preparation areas are shared, including common fryer oil, food can come into contact with other products, and the chain cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely allergen free. Guests with a food allergy are told to inform the cashier, and to see the manager with questions about any item. The official page also notes that MSG is a component of the grilled tender seasoning, and of the Ranch and Cayenne Ranch dipping sauces and sandwich spreads, and that all menu items can be ordered without sauces, spreads and seasonings.

How to read the lists below

Each line names the allergens the official page flags for that item. Two of the chain’s own notations matter. Where the official page marks soy with a star, it means soybean oil only, and those lines are written below as “soy (soybean oil only)”. Where it marks sesame with a plus, it means some restaurants may serve buns that contain sesame, so ask your local store; those lines are written as “sesame (possible, bun dependent)”. If an allergen is not listed for an item, the official page does not flag it for that item. Meal combos are not given single allergen lines by the chain, so meals are covered through their components (tenders, sides, sauces and drinks) in the sections below.

Tenders, Tender Bites and wings

The official page lists these per single piece, before any meal extras:

Sauced and tossed versions change the flags. As examples from the official page, a Korean BBQ tender or wing also contains sesame, a Garlic Parmesan wing contains milk, and a Sweet Red Chili wing contains wheat and milk. If you order a tossed flavor, check that flavor’s own line on the official page or ask the store.

Sandwiches and wraps

Salads

Dressings carry their own allergens; see the sauces and dressings section below.

Mac bowls and Chicken and Waffles

The official page does not give one combined allergen line for a Chicken and Waffles plate, and it does not list the Spicy versions of the mac bowls at all. The tenders in the waffle plate follow the fried tender line above.

Sides

Sauces and dressings

The official page lists these per standard sauce serving:

Shakes and desserts

The official page does not list the Cherry Cheesecake Jar, which is the jar flavor on the current menu page; jar flavors rotate, so ask the store about the flavor in the case before ordering.

Catering sizes

Trays of tenders, wings and bites follow the per piece lines in the tenders section above.

What the official list does not cover

A few gaps are worth knowing about. The official page gives no allergen breakdown for kids meals: for the Kid’s 4 Piece Tender Bites Meal it publishes only a calorie range, so use the component lines above (bites, mac and cheese, fries) as a guide and confirm with the store. It does not list the Spicy mac bowl versions, the drinks and teas, or allergen totals for whole meals and trays. Where this page is silent about an item, that is because the chain’s published list is silent too, not because the item is allergen free.

Eating out with an allergy: practical notes

Tell the cashier about the allergy before ordering, as the chain itself advises, and ask to speak to the manager about specific items. Remember the shared kitchen and shared fryer oil warning: even an item whose own ingredients look safe for you can pick up contact with other products during cooking. Items can be ordered without sauces, spreads and seasonings, which removes several of the most common allergen carriers (most of the creamy sauces contain milk and egg). For the published calorie figures that go with these items, see our nutrition page, and for the sauce list with prices, see the sauces page.
