Slim Chickens is a cool spot on Neil with a simplistic menu and some tasty options at a good price. After some deliberation, I went with the 3 and 3 for $9.99 which included 3 chicken strips and 3 chicken wings. They had quite a few sauce options but I opted for the cajun ranch and the gravy.
The wings were plump and juicy with a nice crispy exterior and a beautiful glistening white interior. The meat slid off the bone and the cajun ranch was delicious. The wing itself desperately needed seasoned, however. It was cooked perfectly, but was rather bland. The ranch saved it for sure.
The tenders were also very good and cooked to perfection. Like their bone-in brethren, however, they also needed more seasoning. The gravy was somewhat bland (tastes canned) so I ended up using the cajun ranch for these as well.
I chose the fries as my side (a difficult choice given the number of options) and they were pretty good (but also a bit bland).
Overall, I was pleased with the amount of food I got for the price and I ultimately enjoyed it all. To get to the next level, this place needs to work on their seasoning both for the meat and the breading. A little more salt also goes a long way! Will try again. 3.5 stars.
