🗺️ New Wings Over Sunset & Craig

After opening its first valley spot over by the old mall on St. Rose Parkway in Henderson, Slim Chickens isn’t slowing down. Permits have gone through for a new location at 3780 E Sunset Road (just east of Stephanie Street), with construction slated to begin soon—expect seeds in the ground within five months. Meanwhile, a ground‑up build at W Craig R.

🔥 What Makes Them Stick

Locals aren’t just flocking for fried chicken—here’s why Slim Chickens keeps them coming:

• 17 house‑made dipping sauces—the self‑proclaimed crown jewel of their tender menu.
• A crave‑worthy lineup: tenders, wings, sandwiches, desserts, and Southern‑style sides.
• A regional flex: they stand out against big names like Raising Cane’s and Chick‑fil‑A with bold flavors and variety.

🌆 Valley Roots, Community Goals

Henderson’s debut has been steadily gaining momentum—franchisee Dennis Ekstrom reports solid growth and deepening brand awareness across the valley. The new Las Vegas and North Las Vegas spots aren’t just chicken stops—they’re community fixtures in the making. Ekstrom emphasizes hiring “families and employees” locally, signaling a long‑term stake in the neighborhoods.

📅 Why You Should Care

Whether you're hunting for the next local lunch hang or want to taste test all 17 sauces, the Sunset Road and Craig & Simmons locations are worth following. Expect grand openings before year’s end—which means now’s the perfect time to mark your calendar and get ready to dip, bite, and repeat.
