Tenders, Tender Bites, and Wings
Tenders are the main 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.
Choose fried tenders if you want the classic hand-breaded preparation. The classic tenders are buttermilk-marinated and hand-breaded, while grilled tenders provide a 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 meal contents, side choices, drink options, and pricing can vary by location.
Choose Tender Bites if you want a smaller chicken format or plan to sample several sauces. Choose wings if you prefer bone-in chicken and want to explore the available sauce or dry-rub options at your restaurant.
Sandwiches and Wraps
The sandwich and wrap category provides a handheld alternative to a tender basket. Current U.S. menu formats 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 order that may be available with fried or grilled tenders. Toppings, side choices, meal upgrades, and drink inclusion can vary by restaurant.
Tender Mac Bowls
Tender Mac Bowls combine mac and cheese with chopped hand-breaded tenders and shredded cheese. The Buffalo Tender Mac Bowl follows the same format with Buffalo flavor and additional toppings.
Choose a Tender Mac Bowl if you want mac and cheese to be the centerpiece of the meal rather than a side. It is a substantial comfort-food option and can be a better fit as a complete meal than as an add-on to another combo.
Chicken & Waffles
Chicken & Waffles combines fried chicken with a waffle, syrup, and butter. It is the menu’s sweet-and-savory meal format.
Choose Chicken & Waffles if you want a richer combination of savory fried chicken and breakfast-style flavors. If you track calories, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, or allergens, evaluate the full meal rather than considering the chicken alone.
Delta Sides, Sweets, and Shakes
Delta Sides can vary by restaurant but 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 dessert-menu categories. Exact flavors, sizes, and availability vary by location.
Kids Meals, Family Meals, and Party Trays
Kids Meals provide smaller chicken-centered orders for children. Entrée choices, drinks, sides, and prices depend on the restaurant’s menu.
Family Meals and Party Trays are designed for sharing. Choose a Family Meal for several people at home. Choose Party Trays or catering when you need larger quantities for workplace lunches, sporting events, celebrations, or other group gatherings.

Slim Chickens Price Range
Slim Chickens does not use one nationwide price list. Current restaurant menus show that prices vary by location, menu format, and order size. Individual meals, tender boxes, wing meals, family meals, and catering trays are priced separately by restaurant.
| Order type | Price guidance |
| Individual tender meal | Varies by location |
| Tender box or larger chicken order | Varies by location |
| Wing meal | Varies by location |
| Sandwich or wrap meal | Varies by location |
| Family Meal | Varies by location |
| Catering tray | Varies by location |
For the most accurate cost, select your nearest location, open its current menu, and compare entrée-only, meal, pickup, and delivery prices before ordering. This is more reliable than using a generic menu-price page that may not match your restaurant.
Slim Chickens Nutrition Information
Slim Chickens publishes nutrition information for individual menu items and sauces. Nutrition can change with menu versions, recipes, serving sizes, and location-specific offerings, so these figures are reference values rather than guaranteed totals for every restaurant order. Check the current nutrition information for the location and menu version you are ordering from.
| Item | Reference calories |
| Fried Tender | 95 |
| Grilled Tender | 56 |
| Plain Wing | 55–80* |
| Hot Sauce | 45 |
| Buffalo Sauce | 80 |
| Slim Sauce | 210 |
| Garlic Parmesan Sauce | 150 |
| Ranch | 160 |
*Wing calories can differ by menu version, preparation, and serving size.
A meal’s nutrition depends on all of its components. For example, grilled tenders with a side salad and a lighter sauce are a different nutritional combination from fried tenders with fries, Texas Toast, a creamy sauce, and a sweet drink.
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:
- Review the latest allergen information.
- Tell staff about the allergy before ordering.
- Ask about the exact item and preparation method.
- Consider a shared fryer and kitchen exposure.
- Use appropriate medical guidance when deciding whether an item is suitable.
