Slim Chickens brings a taste of the South and a warm welcome to Cabarrus County, served with a side of Southern hospitality. | |
|
Cabarrus Weekly was invited to get a sneak peek of Skim Chickens last weekend, and let us tell you, we were thoroughly impressed!
What is unique about Slim Chickens?
🍗🍯 You will never get bored with their 17 options of sauces to pair with their 100% all-natural premium tenders.
- Their wraps are as good on the outside as they are inside with flavorful tortillas packed with an abundance of yummy fillings.
🥞 You don’t normally find Chicken and Waffles at fast-casual chicken restaurants… and they were DELICIOUS!
Break Bread Ventures is behind this new option in our community. They said Concord's proximity to Charlotte and its rapid growth and development made it an attractive choice. This is the Arkansas-based chain’s third Charlotte area location to open in 18 months.
See photos from our visit, learn about their rewards program, how you can get a job, and more on the CW website.
