If you’ve been patiently waiting for your favorite spot for hand-breaded chicken tenders to finally bring some real heat, your patience is about to be rewarded! Slim Chickens, the fast-casual favorite famous for its Southern hospitality and huge array of dipping sauces, is turning up the dial this fall with the launch of its first-ever Spicy Tenders. Get ready, because these new fiery favorites are debuting nationwide on November 17th.
For those who crave authentic spice, these tenders are designed to deliver a serious kick without sacrificing that signature, juicy Slim Chickens flavor. The spicy seasoning is perfectly blended and clings right to the tender, ensuring bold flavor in every single bite. And the best news? The Spicy Tenders meals are being offered at the exact same price as the classic tender meals.
Just how hot are we talking? Grant Springer, senior director of brand strategy at Slim Chickens, gave us the spicy scoop: “This tender delivers for spicy seekers,” he said. “At about 20,000-plus Scoville units, it’s hotter than a serrano but not quite as hot as a habanero. It’s a flavorful heat balanced with sweet and smoky elements.” That sounds like the kind of heat that leaves you sweating, but still reaching for more!

Can’t wait until the 17th to feel the burn? You don’t have to! Slim Chickens is offering a special preview period from Monday, November 10th, through Sunday, November 16th.

The brand is clearly embracing its new heat-forward direction, building on the success of their signature classic tender. And it sounds like this is just the beginning. According to Springer, the brand is already “looking forward to additional ways we can bring spice to other areas of our menu.”
