Houchens Food Group opened their first Slim Chickens in 2021, and now operates multiple locations across Kentucky and Tennessee.
Fresh. Delicious. Chicken.
Our mission was (and is) simple: to make the best hand-breaded chicken tenders using only the freshest ingredients, served in a friendly atmosphere where people can relax and feel at home.
We use the best cut you can get for our tenders. From the outset, 100% all-natural premium tenders have been the building block for our entire menu. Our time-tested recipe has become a household favorite, locking in flavor with our southern-style buttermilk marinade, and lightly breaded by hand with every order.
