Slim Chickens is a fast-casual restaurant brand focused on chicken-centric, made-to-order meals, including hand-breaded tenders, chicken sandwiches, wings, and house-made sauces. The concept grew from Delta-rooted hospitality and was founded in 2003 in Fayetteville, Arkansas by Greg Smart and Tom Gordon. The service model centers on friendly hospitality across dine-in, drive-thru, and carry-out, with in-house dining service and community engagement. Based in Fayetteville, the company operates as a sizeable chain within the restaurants industry, targeting communities seeking quick, quality chicken meals in a casual setting. In 2026 it announced international expansion in the United Kingdom, signaling growth beyond its U.S. base.
