| - Meh, was my first reaction when I tried Slim Chickens. I noticed this place when driving past downtown Gilbert and thought "hey, look a new chicken joint, I wonder if it's good?" I love fried chicken/ chicken tenders so I was curious to see how this would stack up. Going to the drive through I noticed that it's very similar to Raising Canes, the big difference is that they also sell wings, sandwiches, and salads. I ordered the "slims plate" which is 5 tenders, 2 sauces, Texas toast and fries. The tenders were underwhelming in both size and flavor; for a chicken restaurant I expect this to be the one thing they get right. Just seemed to lack seasoning and I like my tenders crunchy, this had only a light batter on it. I also ordered the 8 wing plate and again, nothing to write home about, I've had better at wing stop and even safeway hot deli section wings. My total came up to a little over $20 after tax which felt a little expensive for the amount of food I received and the size of the chicken pieces. Slim chickens indeed, wish I was blown away, won't be coming back.
