Slim Chickens

Louisiana-style fried chicken that's actually worth the trip to Festival Place. Crispy, juicy, and properly seasoned.

You'll find yourself at Festival Place heading towards Unit 17b where Slim Chickens has set up shop with genuine Southern credentials. This isn't your typical fast-casual chicken spot—they're doing Louisiana-style frying properly, which means golden, crackling skin and meat that stays moist inside. The menu reads like a love letter to chicken: sandwiches, tenders, family boxes, and sides that actually have flavour. Their buttermilk biscuits are genuinely good, not an afterthought. It's the kind of place where you'd normally expect mediocre chain food, but instead you're getting something with real care and proper seasoning.
