Slim Chickens announced its new restaurant opening in Crawley, United Kingdom. Established multi-unit operator, Boparan Restaurant Group and Sainsbury, are at the forefront of the opening.
The better-chicken brand has opened more than 225 locations across the United States and the United Kingdom. The brand is known and loved for its hand-breaded, cooked-to-order tenders and passionate group of followers within the markets it operates.

Its menu is broader than many in the segment, offering chicken tenders, fresh salads, sandwiches, chicken and waffles, chicken wings and unique side items.
