The Specialty
Nashville hot chicken, tenders, and sliders
# Dave's Hot Chicken
Dave's Hot Chicken is fine. It's good that they've brought halal options to this growing chain, and the hot chicken is decent. But it's not really competing with the best hot chicken spots in the city — TG's Hot Chicken and Cluck Clucks are both ahead of this in terms of quality.
## What to Order
The hot chicken tenders are the standard order. Pick your heat level and go from there.
## Must Try
The sliders — a good way to sample the chicken without committing to a large order.
## The Verdict
Mid. A convenient option if you're near a location and want halal hot chicken without going too far out of your way, but not a destination. The halal options here are appreciated, but the quality doesn't match the hype around the brand.
