Dave’s Hot Chicken Menu Prices Canada [2026 Updated]

Dave’s Hot Chicken has built a name around crispy chicken tenders, generously filled sliders and seven levels of heat, but the prices matter just as much when ordering in Canada. I’ve put together this Dave’s Hot Chicken Menu with Prices in Canada to cover the latest menu options, signature combos, individual items, sides and spice choices, so you can check what fits your appetite and budget before ordering.

I’ve tried the tenders in both Hot and Extra Hot, and Extra Hot delivers a satisfying kick without covering up the flavour of the tender, juicy chicken. The crinkle-cut fries, house-made Dave’s sauce and crisp pickles help balance the heat, while the quick 10-minute order turnaround makes grabbing a meal fairly straightforward.

For a filling order, Dave’s #1 (2 Tenders with Fries) costs CA$22.99, while Dave’s #2 (2 Sliders with Fries) comes in at CA$26.49. Individual sliders start around CA$11.49, and you can add crinkle-cut fries for CA$5.75 or creamy Mac & Cheese for CA$7.99.

There’s more to the menu than spicy chicken, too. You can choose from seven heat levels, starting with No Spice and going all the way to Reaper, or try alternatives such as Dave’s NOT Chicken cauliflower options and Dave’s Hot Mozz planks. I’ve also covered the must-try orders and popular combinations to help you decide what deserves a place in your next meal.

Must-Try Items at Dave’s Hot Chicken

Dave’s #3 (1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries) – Best Combo

I’d recommend Dave’s #3 for a first visit because you get a proper taste of what this place does best in one order. The massive, ultra-crispy slider comes with kale slaw, pickles and Dave’s Sauce, while a generously sized tender and crinkle-cut fries complete the meal.

At CA$23.99, the portion is huge, and the combination gives you plenty to eat without having to choose between a slider and a tender. It’s my pick for anyone who wants to sample both signature chicken options in one sitting.

Medium or Hot Spice Level Chicken – Editor’s Pick

The spice is where Dave’s really shines. I prefer Medium for its sneaky, warming heat, with a lovely balance of garlic, brown sugar and black pepper. It’s flavourful without overwhelming the chicken.

Hot is my recommendation for anyone who enjoys proper Nashville hot chicken. There’s a noticeable pepper punch, but it doesn’t ruin your night. I’d skip Reaper unless you’re specifically after mouth-scorching heat, as it can cause stomach distress and completely overpower the flavour. No Spice isn’t worth choosing either; it leaves you with bland, dry fried chicken.

Dave’s NOT Chicken (Cauli Dave’s #2 – 2 Cauli Sliders with Fries) – Best Vegetarian Option

The cauliflower sliders are a surprisingly good alternative to the regular chicken options. I like how they achieve a proper crunch on the cauliflower rather than leaving it soft and disappointing.

The slaw, pickles and sauce bring everything together, recreating much of the hot chicken experience without the chicken. At CA$27.01, Cauli Dave’s #2 includes two cauliflower sliders and fries. It’s my recommendation for vegetarian diners who still want the full Dave’s-style meal.

Dave’s Saucy Bites (10pc with Fries) – Best Budget/Quick Meal

At CA$19.99, the 10-piece Dave’s Saucy Bites with Fries makes a good choice when a full slider-and-tender combo feels like too much. These juicy chicken morsels are tossed directly in sauce, and the extra-hot flavour really makes them pop.

I also like the near-perfect fried breading, which gives each bite a satisfying crunch. The portion works well for sharing or grabbing a slightly lighter, quick meal without spending over CA$20.

Crinkle-Cut Fries & Dave’s Sauce – The Side Worth Ordering

Don’t overlook the crinkle-cut fries at CA$5.75. They’re thick rather than floppy, with a slight crunch and a herby, spicy seasoning that makes them enjoyable even without a dip.

My favourite pairing is Dave’s Sauce, an addictive sweet and creamy chipotle-mayo blend that helps cool down the chicken’s heat. An extra serving costs just CA$1.00, and I’d happily add one to share around the table. I’d skip the Fruity Pebbles and Oreo shakes, though; they turn into a soggy, watery mess almost immediately.
