We use the best cut you can get for our tenders. From the outset, 100% all-natural premium tenderloins have been the building block for our entire menu. Our time-tested recipe has become a household favorite, locking in flavor with our southern-style buttermilk marinade, and lightly breaded by hand with every order.
Store #1 opened in Fayetteville, Arkansas on February 17, 2003. Within 6 years we crossed the state line, and in 4 more years opened our first franchise location. 4 years after that, Slim Chickens went international, and just 2 years later we celebrated Store #100, opening in Little Rock, Arkansas on December 17, 2019. To top that growth curve, Slim opened Store #200 just before Christmas 2022. It’s just as exhilarating as day one!
With every new store brings a renewed dedication to customers, to stay true to our original mission and true to our roots.
