Under the golden glow of Dave’s Hot Chicken’s newest offering, the world of saucy nuggets has been forever changed. This week, the West Coast favorite has thrown its hat into the ring with a delectable twist on a classic favorite, leaving competitors like Wendy’s and KFC in the dust. MyNorthwest.com reports that the restaurant chain unveiled its latest creation on Monday: Spicy Bites, served with a side of creamy ranch dip.
Available at the nearly 400 locations across the U.S., these crispy bites are coated in one of three tantalizing sauces: Spicy Buffalo, Spicy BBQ, or the alluring Mike’s Hot Honey. Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken, shared in a statement to Allrecipes that the introduction of these Saucy Bites with Ranch was in direct response to the overwhelming demand from their loyal customers. The brand’s commitment to providing the most irresistible hot chicken experience is evident in this latest addition to their menu.
In a groundbreaking move earlier this year, Dave’s Hot Chicken was acquired by private equity firm Roark Capital in a deal valued at an impressive $1 billion, according to The Associated Press. From its humble beginnings as a popup in a Los Angeles parking lot in 2017, the eatery has rapidly expanded and is on track to have 400 restaurants worldwide by the end of this year. Specializing in Nashville-style hot chicken, Dave’s has become a household name in the culinary world.
July marked another milestone for Dave’s Hot Chicken with the opening of its first airport location in Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International. This unique outpost not only offers the chain’s signature dishes but also serves a mouthwatering breakfast menu featuring items like a breakfast burrito, a chicken, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, hash browns, and the classic chicken and waffles.
With over $600 million in sales last year, Dave’s Hot Chicken is not slowing down anytime soon. CNBC reports that the brand is aiming for Raising Cane’s-level expansion, with plans to open 4,000 stores over the next decade. With its innovative menu offerings and rapid growth, Dave’s Hot Chicken is definitely one to watch in the culinary landscape.
