Driving by the old Backyard Burgers restaurant across from UAMS today, we noticed that the sign out front says it will be the location of Little Rock’s first Slim Chickens, the tenders, wings and fries joint that was started in by three friends in Fayetteville in 2003. There are currently five Slim Chickens outlets in Arkansas, and another three in Oklahoma. Another store is in the works for Texarkana.
