Dave’s Hot Chicken started in 2017 as a parking-lot pop-up in East Hollywood and is now one of America’s fastest-growing chains — 400+ locations, Nashville-style hot chicken, and a simple numbered menu: pick a combo (#1–#4), pick one of 7 spice levels, done. The spice is free, the Reaper level requires a signed waiver.
This page lists the full Dave’s Hot Chicken menu with prices verified in October 2026. Dave’s publishes no national price list, so we show two honest benchmarks: ordering direct for pickup (New York) and delivery apps (DoorDash/UberEats, Milwaukee & Gilbert) — delivery runs about 20–25% higher on most items.
New in 2026: Hot Mozz is now a permanent menu item, Mini Sliders are back, and the Mac Loaded Slider (mac & cheese on a slider) joined the lineup. Dave’s #5 (1 tender + fries) appears in official allergen documents but isn’t currently listed at the stores we track.
