Quick info
About Slim Chickens
Slim Chickens is a fast food restaurant at Unit R8 in the Arndale centre in Manchester. The menu centres on chicken tenders and wings cooked to order, with a Cayenne Ranch chicken sandwich as the other main option. Fifteen house sauces are on offer to pair with the chicken, so each order can be matched to a different flavour. Fresh salads and a range of iced teas and lemonade round out the menu for those who want something beside the fried chicken. Guests order for themselves at the counter, and the team brings the food to the table.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the chicken, describing it as succulent, crispy outside and juicy inside, with one asking for spicy and getting just the right kick. The sauces come close behind, with a variety of options and a special sauce one diner calls next level. Others mention perfectly spiced, crispy chips and soft, buttery garlic bread. Service draws steady praise, with staff called friendly and helpful, food arriving hot, and barely any wait, sometimes as diners sit down. Several like ordering on their own and having the food delivered to the table, though one family found the ordering system a bit confusing and thinks it could be simplified. Portions are called generous, and one reviewer says the meal filled them up. Repeat visitors say the food is always hot, and a few say they would return.

“Slim Chickens absolutely filled me up and put a massive smile on my face. I was one very happy little boy by the end of it. The food was spot on, the portions were generous, and that special sauce is honestly next level. I’d happily come back again and get filled up all over again. Brilliant food and a great experience, shoutout to Oscar.”
