Customer review: “We have never been to Slim Chickens before so I couldn't decide which sauces to get so i got 2, 10 packs of sauces and we mixed and matched. We ended up loving the sweet red chili, sriracha garlic, spicy bbq, garlic parmesan and the mango habanero sauces the best. We did try both chicken tenders and wings. Both were decent for fried chicken but could have used more seasoning. Glad for the sauces. We will definitely return.”
