About

About Slim Chickens

Slim Chickens was founded in 2003 in Fayetteville, Arkansas by Tom Gordon and Greg Smart with a deceptively simple concept: make the best chicken tenders possible using fresh, never-frozen all-white meat, hand-breaded in-house and cooked to order every time. The formula worked. Starting from a single Arkansas location, Slim Chickens has grown to more than 600 locations across the United States and internationally, becoming one of the fastest-growing fast casual chicken chains in America.

The sauce game is a defining feature of the Slim Chickens experience. With 17 signature house-made dipping sauces ranging from mild honey mustard to the fiery Cayenne Ranch, guests are encouraged to mix, match, and find their favorite pairing. This built-in variety keeps the menu feeling fresh even for frequent visitors who stick to the same tender count.

Beyond tenders, Slim Chickens has earned loyal fans for its Chicken & Waffles, a Southern comfort classic that serves crispy tenders over a Belgian waffle with syrup and butter. Family packs make the chain a popular catering and group-meal option, while the straightforward Southern sides — mac & cheese, baked beans, fried okra — round out a menu that stays true to its Arkansas roots.
