1 Slider with Fries | Price, Calories & Full Details

The 1 Slider with Fries is one of the most popular entry-level combos on the Dave’s Hot Chicken menu, and for good reason. Priced at $10.99, it delivers a hand-breaded chicken thigh patty on a brioche-style bun with pickles and Dave’s signature sauce, paired alongside a full portion of seasoned fries. At 1,060 calories at base spice level, it’s a genuinely filling meal that covers everything a first-time Dave’s customer needs to understand what the chain is about, without overcommitting on portion size or spend.

What separates this combo from a generic fast-casual chicken sandwich meal is the made to order preparation standard. The slider patty is hand breaded fresh at time of order, not held in a warmer, which means the breading texture is at peak crispness when it reaches you.

Allergen Information

The 1 Slider with Fries contains wheat/gluten in both the brioche-style bun and the breaded coating on the chicken patty. Eggs are present in the breading process and in the bun itself. Dairy (butter) is in the brioche bun. Soy is present in the frying oil used for both the chicken and the fries. Sesame may be present depending on the bun supplier used at your specific location.

Dave’s Hot Chicken prepares all food in shared kitchen environments with shared fryers, meaning cross-contamination with tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, and all other major allergens is a real possibility regardless of what the item directly contains.

Spice Levels Available

• No Spice — Seasoned but carries zero chili heat. The thigh patty’s natural fat content keeps it flavorful without any spice coating.
• Lite Mild — The gentlest heat option; a barely-there warmth that’s ideal for first-timers or spice-sensitive customers.
• Mild — Light heat that complements rather than dominates the chicken’s flavor profile.
• Medium — Steady, building heat that becomes noticeable midway through the slider — a reliable middle ground for regular spice eaters.
• Hot — Dave’s signature cayenne-forward flavor fully asserts itself here; this is where the chain’s identity really comes through.
• Extra Hot — Sustained, sharp heat that lingers well past the last bite.
• Reaper — Made with Carolina Reaper pepper, one of the world’s hottest chilis. Not recommended for first-timers under any circumstances.
