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.

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.
