Hot Boxes for groups
Dave’s Hot Chicken keeps its menu short on purpose: Nashville-style hot chicken as tenders or sliders, a few sides, shakes, and group-size Hot Boxes. That makes ordering easy, but it also means a few choices (spice level, combo or single, fries or mac) decide whether you spend $7 or $20. This guide lays out the whole Dave’s Hot Chicken menu with prices, shows which combos give the best value, and explains the heat levels so you do not order the wrong one.
Price note: Dave’s Hot Chicken is a franchise, so prices change by city, state, and between in-store, app, and delivery orders. The figures below are typical US prices collected in October 2026 and should be read as a close guide, not a fixed price list. Always confirm on the official Dave’s Hot Chicken menu or app for your exact location before you order.
