About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

On 11/18/2022, we tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the 1st time. The place was crowded, and there was a steady flow of customers and Eats drivers. The wait time for our to-go order was about 20 minutes.

They have no spice or a choice of 6 levels of spice. We like spicy foods so we ordered hot. That level of heat is not to take lightly. Thank God the sandwich was spread with col... read more

Solid hot chicken. I've tried all the spice levels from hot up and they're all not bad. The reaper hot is pretty hot but it's no where near as bad as like a smoke eaters hellfire wing
