OT: Slim Chickens

[Deen.sixpack]

Saw a sign at the old Abner's (Rest in Peace) that a "Slim Chickens" will be moving in that building. Anyone ever had Slim Chickens? If so how was it?

Ate some chicken tenders at the one in Ridgeland. 3 piece plate.... Very good but thought the servings were small.

I tried the one that just opened in Ridgeland. It’s ok. Not bad but not anything awesome. It’s better than I remember abners being though.

They're out here in the Houston area. I really like it. Not earth-shatteringly amazing, but pretty good. Great selection of sauces.

Did it open in the old abners in ridgeland?

No, they built a new building on lake harbor rd. Next to the mugshots. Kinda across the street from wild wings.

Well it is called Slim Chickens.**

If there is a Raising Canes or Zaxbys near by go there. Thought the quality across the board at Slim Chickens was lacking. Their toast really is a toasted piece of bread and the signature sauce is an odd flavored tomato based product. Not a fan.

Raising Cane's is the best by far to me. Zaxby's is fine, but always seems a bit too salty (and I like salt). I always liked Abner's too.

They have good tenders, but THE best fried mushrooms. We use their place in Hot Springs.

Agree on the tenders being pretty small. I like Abners better to be honest.

Another creative food chain ***. Chicken strips.

They also have wings and several sauces...but their signature sauce isn't as good as Raising Canes, Zaxby's, or even Chic Fila.

RIP Abners. Ran the one is starkville for a few years. Y’all making me want some chicken now.

I tried Abner's twice. Both times it could not have been any drier or tasteless. Good riddance, give somebody else a shot

I put it, Abner’s, Raisin Cane, and Zaxby’s all in the same group. Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they’re over cooked and dry.

If we’re talking fast food tenders only, Popeyes and Hardee’s are the best to me

Tried but slim chickens last week. They use a Panko bread crumb and it had a funky after taste. My wife said exact same thing. Could still taste it after 1 hour. I prefer battered or floured chicken tenders. I’d go back only if there’s no other nearby options. Which there isn’t in lake harbor in Ridgeland. If they ever open next-door to a Zaxby’s or Cain’s, they’ll never make it

I always appreciated Abner's offering the grilled tenders. It seems obvious that 1 of the others should give it a go too.

Its chicken tenders at a place with many sauce choices. Their namesake sauce is really thick and orangey and average, particularly if you thought it might be a comeback type deal.

Slim chickens does have grilled. They may be the only one. I haven’t tried them yet.

Good to know. There's apparently one 4 miles from my house.. Never heard of it.

I always ate at Abners for this exact same reason. I tried the grilled at new Slims in Ridgeland the other day and they were very good. As good or better than Abners grilled.

Like burger joints and pizza, the chicken tender idea has become overkill. We really need people to dream up something different.

I'm with you, but the variety of options for eating food cooked by others has continually improved in my lifetime. That said, I don't eat out that much and am pretty amazed at how much many spend eating out, especially with the way grocery stores are stocked these days.
