Slim Chickens is known and loved for its hand-breaded, cooked-to-order tenders and passionate followers within its markets.

“We are thrilled for the Yuma community to get a taste of our signature cooked-to-order chicken tenders and experience the brand’s Southern hospitality,” said Jackie Lobdell, Vice President of Franchise Development at Slim Chickens. “We support AZ Slims whose commitment to sharing our food helps us reach more Slimthusiasts and grow our following.”
