Who are we

Slim Chickens, a leading fast casual franchise which features dine-in and drive-through in the "better chicken" segment, opened in 2003 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Offering high-quality food with a focus on fresh, delicious ingredients, the brand prides itself on its southern flair and commitment to hospitality, all in a fast-casual setting. Food is cooked to order, and the differentiated menu features chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings and unique side items, alongside 17 house-made dipping sauces. The brand has nabbed several awards and accolades in recent years, including QSR's 2021 Breakout Brand of the Year, Franchise Times' Zor Award for Best Chicken Franchise to buy, a coveted spot on Fast and Serious' 40 Smartest Growing Brands for 2021 list and one of Fast Casual's top 100 Movers & Shakers.
