Slim Chickens

This place was awesome! I called ahead of time to check on GF options and was told their grilled chicken strips and fries were both GF. I asked about cross contamination on fries and was told they use a separate fryer for fries. When I got there to order order I confirmed again about the fryer and was assured it was separate. The cashier made sure to tell the kitchen that the bread that comes with it needed a separate box due to an allergy. They truly seemed to care and the foodwas fantastic! I would100% go again.

I visited the location at 4265 Austin Bluffs, in Colorado Springs, CO, on 2/24/24. Manager reported that they do *not* have a dedicated fryer for their fries. I had some grilled tenders, which was pretty much the only GF thing I saw on the menu. I didn’t feel confident, so I took a Benadryl, and can’t speak to my cross-contamination experience.

Staff was unsure if the fries would be fried in a dedicated fryer or a shared one. The manager informed me that the fries contained gluten. But their website indicates otherwise. So I did not dine there!

I went online to look at their allergen ingredients, and was able to get their honey BBQ bone-in wings with fries and didn’t get sick!! It was sooo good, I wish I had one closer to me.

Slim Chicken’s has turned into a staple in my life lately because of their grilled tenders! I also am able to eat their fries! I have not yet had a bad experience, and am really thankful for this option! Chick-Fil-A tends to make me sick even with letting them know of my Gluten Allergy.

This is a great option if someone is wanting a Drive Thru/ Easy option for lunch or dinner! :)

The ranch also is amazing, and I have had no reaction to it.
