Slim Chickens offers high-quality food and 17 house-made dipping sauces, allowing customers to enjoy a different flavor profile with each visit. Its menu is broader than many in the segment, offering chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings, and unique side items. Fans also resonate with the Southern contemporary look and feel, as well as the open and inviting layout of Slim Chickens restaurants, which speak to the hospitality mindset that anchors the brand.

“We are excited to expand our footprint in our home state of Arkansas and serve more communities with cooked-to-order chicken and famous jar desserts,” said Sam Rothschild, COO of Slim Chickens. “Congratulations to DHR Group for their continued success with the brand, we are thankful for their partnership and dedication.”
