Slim Chickens, the fast-growing American chicken tender franchise, has announced the opening of two new UK locations in Edgware Road and the East Midlands. The expansion is being led by Boparan Restaurant Group, a multi-unit operator responsible for driving the brand’s footprint across the region.
Renowned for its hand-breaded, cooked-to-order chicken tenders and warm, Southern-style hospitality, Slim Chickens continues to carve out a loyal following in the 'better-chicken' segment. “We’re excited to offer our cooked-to-order chicken tenders to Edgware Road and East Midlands—two dynamic markets where we see strong demand,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens.
The brand’s growing fanbase, affectionately known as “Slimthusiasts,” is drawn not just to the quality of its food but to the complete experience. With 14 house-made dipping sauces, each meal offers a customizable flavor journey. Beyond its signature tenders, the menu features hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, wings, and indulgent classics like chicken and waffles.
As Slim Chickens spreads its wings across the UK, these new openings reflect the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. In these bustling new markets, guests can expect bold flavors, warm service, and a satisfying dining experience, preferably served with their favorite dipping sauce.
