Customers can choose from a variety of dipping sauces to make their meal one of a kind, including cayenne ranch, honey mustard, honey barbecue, Slims sauce, and ranch. The restaurant also serves sides such as fried okra and fried mushrooms, and offers Southern-style jarred desserts. In addition, Slims Chickens also offers kids’ meals, family meals, and can cater entire parties and events.
The restaurant was founded in 2003 by Greg Smart and Tom Gordon in Arkansas, and has since expanded to about 250 locations throughout the U.S., and the United Kingdom.
