Southern hospitality and fresh tenders and wings is coming to Crawley with the opening of a new restaurant this month

Slim Chickens is a household name in the southern states of the USA, where the brand is synonymous with quality, freshness, cooked-to-order chicken and signature sauces.

A relaxed atmosphere is created with a range of comfortable seating and a soothing blues soundtrack, whilst the offers via the Slim Chickens App and the range of at-home eating options make it an affordable treat at any time.

The perfect blend of buttermilk marinated chicken and blues has proved to be a big hit this side of the Atlantic too, and the Crawley franchise will be the 42nd restaurant to open in the UK.

All the dishes from Slim Chickens are cooked to order and ready to eat in 10 minutes. The emphasis is on quality and freshness, and the chicken Tenders are the best-selling dish on the menu.

These are pieces of succulent chicken marinated in buttermilk, breaded and fried until crispy. There’s also chicken wings, and a vegetarian option of plant-based ‘Chicks’.

Whatever your taste there will be something to suit you with 14 different dipping sauces to choose from – Spicy BBQ for a kick or Fiery Inferno for those who really like it hot! You could go cheesy with Blue Cheese or Garlic Cheese, be traditional with Buffalo, Honey Mustard or House Ranch or try the Mango Habanero or Sriracha Garlic to ring the changes.

With Sandwiches, salads and wraps, kids meals, shakes and drinks there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.

Slim Chickens was presented with the Quick Serving Restaurant of the year award in 2022 with QSRMedia.
