Fast-casual restaurant chain Slim Chickens is set to launch its first-ever Spicy Tenders on November 17, 2023. Known for its hand-breaded chicken tenders and a variety of sauces, Slim Chickens operates over 300 locations across the United States and in international markets such as Turkey, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

The new Spicy Tenders will feature a fiery seasoning designed to deliver a consistent kick while maintaining the brand’s signature flavor. Each tender boasts a heat level exceeding 20,000 Scoville units, which is hotter than a serrano pepper but milder than a habanero. This combination provides a flavorful heat complemented by sweet and smoky undertones. Pricing for the Spicy Tender meals will mirror that of the classic tenders, ensuring accessibility for all customers.

Exclusive Preview and Rewards

In anticipation of the product launch, Slim Chickens is offering a special preview event from November 10 to 16. Customers who try the new Spicy Tenders during this week can earn double rewards points, incentivizing fans to experience the bold new addition before its official release.

Grant Springer, senior director of brand strategy at Slim Chickens, emphasized the appeal of the Spicy Tenders for heat enthusiasts. “This one’s made for spice lovers,” he stated. Springer also hinted at the brand’s future plans, indicating that they are already exploring additional spicy options to enhance their menu offerings.
