Fast-casual restaurant chain Slim Chickens is set to introduce its first-ever Spicy Tenders nationwide on November 17. Known for its hand-breaded chicken tenders and a variety of sauces, the brand operates over 300 locations across the United States and in several international markets.
The new Spicy Tenders promise to deliver a bold flavor profile while maintaining the beloved taste that fans have come to expect. Each tender is coated with a fiery seasoning, designed to provide a consistent kick of heat without compromising on the classic Slim Chickens flavor.
Details on the Spicy Tenders and Special Promotion
The Spicy Tender meals will be priced comparably to the classic tenders, making them accessible to a broad audience. According to Grant Springer, senior director of brand strategy at Slim Chickens, “This one’s made for spice lovers. At over 20,000 Scoville units, it’s hotter than a serrano but milder than a habanero, a flavorful heat with sweet and smoky notes.” This new addition aligns with the brand’s strategy to cater to a diverse range of palates.
In anticipation of the launch, Slim Chickens is offering a special promotion. Guests who sample the new Spicy Tenders between November 10 and 16 will earn double rewards points during the preview week. This initiative aims to encourage customers to experience the new flavor before its official debut.
