Why I Ordered This Item
I ordered the 5 & 5 Combo Meal because I wanted to enjoy both of Slim Chickens’ most popular menu items in one generous meal. With five hand-breaded chicken tenders, five saucy wings, a large side, Texas toast, two dipping sauces, and a drink, it looked like the ultimate feast for anyone with a big appetite.
Since Slim Chickens is known for its hand-breaded chicken tenders, flavorful wings, Southern comfort food, and house-made dipping sauces, I was excited to see how their biggest combo meal would compare to similar options at other fast-casual chicken restaurants. It seemed like the perfect choice if you want to experience everything the restaurant does best.

In this review, I’ll share my honest thoughts on its appearance, texture, flavor, value, and whether I’d order it again.
First Impression
The 5 & 5 Combo Meal looked impressive the moment it arrived. The five crispy chicken tenders and five sauce-coated wings filled the serving box, making it clear that this was one of the largest meals on the Slim Chickens menu. The large side of seasoned fries was cooked fresh, the Texas toast had a buttery golden finish, and the two dipping sauces completed the meal.
The presentation was simple but very inviting, giving the meal a classic Southern comfort food feel. Everything looked freshly prepared, and the aroma of crispy chicken, flavorful wings, buttery toast, and seasoned fries immediately made me hungry.
The portion size easily stood out as the biggest highlight. It looked filling enough to satisfy a very hungry customer or even be shared with someone else.
What Does It Taste Like?
The first bite of the chicken tender was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The hand-breaded coating had a satisfying crunch, while the chicken inside stayed moist and tender. The seasoning was balanced, allowing the fresh chicken to remain the star of the meal.
The wings added another layer of flavor with their juicy meat and rich sauce coating. The crispy skin held up well under the sauce, and every bite was full of bold flavor without feeling overly greasy.
The seasoned fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, while the warm Texas toast added a buttery, comforting texture that paired perfectly with both the tenders and wings. Having two dipping sauces made it easy to switch flavors throughout the meal, which kept every bite interesting.
The meal paired perfectly with a cold soft drink and felt like the complete Slim Chickens experience. What impressed me most was that even with such a large portion, every piece of chicken tasted freshly cooked and consistently crispy.
If I had one small complaint, it would be that the meal is extremely filling. Unless you’re very hungry or sharing with someone, finishing everything in one sitting can be a challenge.
Is It Worth the Money?
The 5 & 5 Combo Meal usually costs around $22.49, depending on the location.
I think it offers excellent value because it includes five hand-breaded chicken tenders, five flavorful wings, a large side, Texas toast, two dipping sauces, and a drink. The generous serving size and fresh ingredients easily justify the price.
Compared to ordering tenders and wings separately, this combo provides better value and gives you the opportunity to enjoy both of Slim Chickens’ signature chicken options in one meal. I’d definitely order it again for a big meal or when dining with someone else.

I’m Natalie. I run this site mostly out of stubbornness — I ordered the wrong thing at a Slim Chickens once, got curious about the rest of the menu, and never really stopped. Now I track prices, new items, and locations here. No corporate connection to the brand, just someone who apparently has strong opinions about dipping sauces.
