Dave’s Hot Chicken – Wake Forest

About

This is the Wake Forest branch of Dave’s Hot Chicken, the fast-growing Nashville-style chain, sitting off the Capital Boulevard corridor. Tenders and sliders come at whatever heat level you pick, which is most of the appeal.

The company began when three childhood friends pooled $900 and started cooking in an East Hollywood parking lot in 2017. The chain has grown fast since then, and the Wake Forest kitchen carries the same short menu of tenders, sliders, fries and kale slaw that built the name in California.

What to know

  • Instagram attention and a review in Eater LA drove the early growth.
  • Kale slaw is one of the standard sides.
  • Mini sliders and chicken bites are sold alongside the tenders.
  • The company app offers a free regular fountain drink to new users.
  • Milkshakes are part of the menu, including limited-run flavors.
