Tenders, Tender Bites, and Wings

Tenders are the central menu format. Diners can choose classic hand-breaded fried tenders or grilled tenders. Tender Bites provide a smaller chicken-piece option, while wings offer a bone-in alternative.

The classic tenders are buttermilk-marinated and hand-breaded. Grilled tenders provide a separate, non-fried preparation.

Slim’s Meal is a tender-based meal that can include five hand-breaded tenders, Texas Toast, two dipping sauces, a side, and a drink. Exact components, modification options, and pricing can vary by restaurant.

Choose fried tenders if you want the classic preparation. Choose grilled tenders if you prefer grilled chicken rather than hand-breaded fried tenders. Choose Tender Bites if you want a smaller chicken format, and choose wings if bone-in chicken is your preference.

Sandwiches and Wraps

The sandwich and wrap menu provides a handheld alternative to a tender basket. The U.S. menu can include chicken sandwiches, Chicken Club Sandwiches, Cayenne Ranch Chicken Sandwiches, and Slim’s Wrap meals.

Choose a sandwich if you want a chicken meal in a bun. Choose a wrap if you prefer a portable option that may be available with fried or grilled chicken. Toppings, sauces, sides, drinks, and upgrades can differ by location.

Tender Mac Bowls

Tender Mac Bowls combine mac and cheese with chopped hand-breaded tenders and shredded cheese. Buffalo Tender Mac Bowls build on that format with Buffalo flavor and additional toppings.

Choose a Tender Mac Bowl if you want mac and cheese to be the centerpiece of your meal. It is a comfort-food entrée rather than a side dish with chicken added.

Chicken & Waffles

Chicken & Waffles combines fried chicken with a waffle, syrup, and butter. It is the menu’s sweet-and-savory option.

Choose this meal if you want a richer combination of savory chicken and breakfast-style flavors. If you are monitoring calories, sugar, carbohydrates, sodium, or allergens, consider every part of the meal rather than the chicken alone.

Sides, Desserts, and Shakes

Delta Sides may include fries, mac and cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, fried pickles, fried okra, fried mushrooms, a side salad, Texas Toast, applesauce, and chips.

Choose a side salad if you want fewer fried components in your meal. Choose fries, mac and cheese, Texas Toast, or fried sides if you want a more traditional comfort-food order.

Slim’s Sweets and hand-spun milkshakes are listed dessert categories. Current flavors, sizes, and availability can vary by restaurant.

Slim Chickens Prices: What Affects the Cost

Slim Chickens does not use one nationwide price list. Costs vary by restaurant location, menu format, local promotions, tax, pickup or delivery method, and add-ons.

Order type	Main price factors
Tender meal	Tender count, side, drink, local menu
Wing meal	Wing count, flavor, side, drink
Sandwich or wrap	Meal format, add-ons, promotions
Tender Mac Bowl	Standard or Buffalo format, meal add-ons
Family Meal	Serving size and included items
Catering tray	Guest count, tray size, sides, sauces, notice period

To find the most accurate cost, select your local restaurant, view its current menu, and compare entrée-only, meal, pickup, and delivery prices before checkout.

Slim Chickens Nutrition

Slim Chickens publishes nutrition information for individual menu items and sauces. These figures can change with menu versions, serving sizes, recipes, and location-specific offerings, so use the current nutrition information for the restaurant where you are ordering.

Item	Reference calories
Fried Tender	95
Grilled Tender	56
Plain Wing	55–80*
Hot Sauce	45
Buffalo Sauce	80
Ranch	160
Garlic Parmesan Sauce	150
Slim Sauce	210

*Wing calories can vary by preparation, portion, and menu version.

A complete meal can be very different from a chicken-only figure. Chicken, side, Texas Toast, sauces, drinks, and desserts should all be considered together when reviewing nutrition.

Allergens and Dietary Considerations

Slim Chickens does not guarantee that menu items are completely free from allergen cross-contact. Food is prepared in shared kitchen and cooking areas, including shared fryer oil.

Potential allergens can include milk, eggs, wheat, soy, sesame, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts. Because preparation takes place in a shared kitchen, guests with severe food allergies should review current allergen information and speak with restaurant staff before ordering.

For a food allergy or medical dietary requirement:

1. Review the latest allergen information.
2. Tell staff about the allergy before ordering.
3. Ask about the exact item and preparation method.
4. Consider a shared fryer and kitchen exposure.
5. Follow appropriate medical guidance.

Slim Chickens Catering

Slim Chickens catering is designed for group meals and can include tender trays, wing trays, large-format sides, Texas Toast, sauces, salads, desserts, and beverages. Official catering materials include tender trays, wing trays, sauce packs, and other group-order formats.

Before placing a catering order, confirm:
