American fast-casual restaurant chain Slim Chickens has enhanced its 2024 summer menu with the introduction of Loaded Fries with Chicken Bacon Ranch, available for a limited time from 28 May.

The new offering includes seasoned fries topped with hand-breaded tenders, crispy bacon, house-made Ranch Sauce, shredded cheese and sliced jalapenos, in regular and large sizes.

Slim Chickens is also introducing a Strawberry Jar Dessert, Raspberry Lemonade and a Strawberry Mini Chocolate Chip Shake featuring Nestlé Tollhouse Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels.

Slim Chickens chief marketing officer Chris Allison said: “Slim Chickens is obviously known for its chicken, but we’re always excited to offer something new and different to our guests.

“Our Loaded Fries are a delicious, comfort food favourite that can serve as an entrée or as a shareable Southern side.”

In April 2024 the chain entered a multi-unit deal with franchisee Slims Southern Boys to open four or more outlets in Alabama and Georgia, US.
