Welcome to Dave’s Hot Chicken, Aurora’s soon-to-be spicy sensation at the Gardens on Havana! We’re bringing our signature Nashville-style fried chicken to South Aurora.
At Dave’s, we’re all about flavor-first simplicity. We specialize in hand-breaded chicken tenders and sliders, served with crinkle-cut fries, creamy mac & cheese, kale slaw, and pickles. Choose your heat from seven spice levels—from No Spice and Lite Mild all the way up to Reaper, our legendary level so fiery it comes with a waiver!
Plus, our New Mini Sliders are perfect for snacking on the go or sharing with friends—tiny bites of big flavor.
We started as a late-night pop-up in LA’s East Hollywood in 2017, selling just one combo plate. Now we’ve grown to over 300 locations worldwide—but we still stay true to our roots.
Our menu is deliberately limited—this lets us perfect what we do, from the spice rub on the chicken to the crispiness you hear in every bite.
We use halal-certified chicken, ensuring high standards and inclusivity.
We’re coming soon to the Gardens on Havana complex. Follow us online to be among the first.
Look out for late‑night service and catering options, because spicy shouldn’t wait til noon.
Final Thoughts
We’re more than just hot chicken—we’re about community, flavor, and a good time. From the moment you unwrap that first tender or slider, we hope you feel the care we put into every recipe. Keep an eye out—we’ll be bring that signature Dave’s heat to Aurora soon, and trust us, it’s going to be worth the wait. Can’t wait to see you at our grand opening!
