Dave's Hot Chicken (DHC) is a Nashville-style hot chicken franchise that started in 2017 and has grown to include over 100 locations across the United States and other countries. Canadian rapper Drake is also a significant investor in the franchise.
The DHC menu includes chicken tenders and sliders with options for slides and comes with Dave's Sauce. Seven spice levels are available for their chicken, starting with 'No Spice' and ending with 'Reaper.' DHC's first combo option, '2 Tenders w/ Fries,' costs $11.99.
DHC's first location in Charlotte opened in Sept. 2022 in Plaza Midtown. The franchise plans to expand into Charlotte with 12 locations throughout the city in the next couple of years.
