The Slim Chickens Crispy Wings are a different proposition to the tenders - both in terms of eating experience and nutritional profile. Here's the complete calorie breakdown from the UK nutrition data.
Slim Chickens Crispy Wings - Calorie Breakdown
Solo wing options (no sides):

- 8 Crispy Wings Solo: 773.7 kcal - 53.8g protein, 78.3g carbs, 27g fat, 4.2g salt
- 10 Crispy Wings Solo: 967.1 kcal - 67.2g protein, 97.9g carbs, 33.8g fat, 5.3g salt

Wings vs Tenders: A Significant Nutritional Difference
The key difference between the Crispy Wings and the Tenders is the carbohydrate content:
- 4 Tenders Solo: 303.3 kcal, 7.1g carbs, 43.4g protein
- 6 Crispy Wings Solo: 580.3 kcal, 58.7g carbs, 40.3g protein
The wings have over 8 times the carbohydrate content of the tenders despite providing slightly less protein. This is because the Crispy Wings use a more substantial batter coating that adds carbohydrates, and wings are served as bone-in pieces where the cooking surface-to-meat ratio is different.
If protein per calorie is the priority, tenders are significantly more efficient. If you specifically want the bone-in wing experience, the wings are the product to order.
Wing Meals
Full wing meal options include fries, Texas Toast, and a drink:
- 4 Crispy Wings Meal: 805 kcal, 31.8g protein, 87.5g carbs, 35.4g fat, 3.2g salt
- 6 Crispy Wings Meal: 998.4 kcal, 45.3g protein, 107g carbs, 42.2g fat, 4.3g salt
- 8 Crispy Wings Meal: 1,191.8 kcal, 58.7g protein, 126.6g carbs, 48.9g fat, 5.3g salt
The 8 Crispy Wings Meal at nearly 1,200 kcal with 5.3g of salt is a very substantial meal. The salt content across all wing portions is high - the 10 wing solo portion has 5.3g of salt, which is close to the recommended daily maximum for adults.
The Hot Rub Option
Wings can be ordered with Hot Rub seasoning at just 12.5 kcal per 8g serving - this adds heat and flavour without meaningful caloric impact. It's the obvious choice if you want the spice without adding sauce calories.
What Should You Order?
For a protein-focused meal, the 6 Crispy Wings Solo (580.3 kcal, 40.3g protein) is a reasonable option, though significantly higher in carbs than the comparable tender order. For a full meal experience, the 4 Wings Meal at 805 kcal is more moderate than the larger meal options.
