What’s new this year?

Dave’s Hot Chicken has dropped a massive lineup of new menu innovations, expanding far beyond just standard tenders and sliders.

🔥 Brand New Food Items

• Dave’s Hot Mozz: Huge, spicy, hand-breaded mozzarella sticks featuring a serious cheese pull and a fiery kick. You can grab them as a 3-piece meal side.
• Dave’s Mini Sliders: A smaller, highly shareable version of their famous full-sized chicken sliders. They are perfect if you want to sample multiple spice levels without getting too full.
• Dave’s Big Trio: A massive sampler platter designed for sharing. It piles up the new Hot Mozz, Dave’s Bites, and Mini Sliders alongside your choice of three dipping sauces.
• Dave’s Saucy Bites: Their bite-sized nuggets are now tossed directly in sweet and fiery sauces. Flavor options include Hot Honey, Spicy BBQ, and Spicy Buffalo.

🥤 New Shakes & Drink Mashups

• Pop Rocks® Top-Loaded Slushers: A unique beverage collaboration. They top off frozen Fruit Punch or Orange Lavaburst slushies with actual Pop Rocks candy for a crackling, fizzy drinking experience.
• Mint Oreo Top-Loaded Shake: A refreshing new addition to their dessert lineup, featuring thick mint milkshake bases piled high with crushed Oreo cookies.

🎬 Limited-Time Promos

• Marvel X-Men ’97 Meals: Dave’s has officially teamed up with Marvel Animation for limited-edition Dave’s X-Meals. Ordering a 10-piece Bite meal or a Single Slider combo hooks you up with fries and one of four exclusive, collectible X-Men toys

Frequently ordered combinations

👑 The Top 3 Standard Combos Ranked

1. Combo #3: The Discovery Order (1 Tender + 1 Slider + Fries)
   • Why it’s #1: It is universally considered the best first-timer and regular order because it gives you both formats in one box. You get to test a naked tender over white bread alongside a fully dressed slider with kale slaw and pickles.
2. Combo #2: The Heavy Hitter (2 Sliders + Fries)
   • Why it’s popular: Regulars who love the tangy crunch of the kale slaw and soft potato buns skip the basic bread entirely. Since Dave’s sliders are actually the size of full chicken sandwiches, this is the most filling, calorie-dense combo on the menu.
3. Combo #1: The Purist’s Pack (2 Tenders + Fries)
   • Why it’s popular: For people who want to focus entirely on the quality of the Nashville spice rub without bread filling them up. The tenders are massive, exceptionally juicy, and served with pickles and sliced bread.
