Slim Chickens embraces high demand for sauce with monthly drop

Plenty of restaurant chains have responded to consumers’ increasing demands for diverse sauces, and some have even begun offering sauce flights to fit the trend.

Slim Chickens is going a step further, adding a monthly drop of housemade ranch flavors from now through December. The “Ranch Remix” promotion starts July 1 with Dill Pickle Ranch, available for a limited time and priced from 39 cents to 49 cents à la carte while supplies last.

“Housemade ranch is one of the brand features our guests love most,” Chief Marketing Officer Patrick Noone said in a statement. “Sauce is how guests customize their meal and Ranch Remix adds a fresh note to a familiar favorite. Every month brings a new remix and another reason to come back and see what’s playing.”

After Dill Pickle Ranch, a new ranch flavor will be introduced on the first of every month. Each flavor will be teased in the weeks before it drops, turning every month into a guessing game for guests, who can follow along on the chain’s app and social media channels.

“We’re keeping the next flavors a secret on purpose,” Noone added. “Part of the fun is the guessing game. Guests will get little teases before each drop, and once a flavor sells out, it’s gone, so it pays to come in early.”

Technomic research has found that 34% of consumers consider what sauces and condiments are available when deciding which restaurants to visit. Ranch is the most popular, especially among Gen Z consumers.

Slim Chickens has grown to more than 300 locations in 34 states and the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, and Malaysia. The company ended 2025 with about $470 million in domestic sales, according to Technomic.
