Nashville Hot Chicken · Halal · San Jose
Turn Up The Heat.
Nashville hot chicken sliders, tenders, and bites — halal, crispy, and open late every single day in San Jose.
Our Story
Born from a Parking Lot.
Built for the Bold.
Dave's Hot Chicken started as a humble pop-up and exploded into one of the hottest fast-casual chains in the country — because the chicken speaks for itself. At our San Jose location on Prospect Rd, we serve halal Nashville-style chicken with seven heat levels, from No Spice to the legendary Reaper. Come for the crunch, stay for the heat.
Every order is made fresh, every piece is halal-certified, and every visit is open until midnight. Whether you're feeding the crew or grabbing a quick solo fix, Dave's delivers bold flavor at a price that makes sense.

What People Say
The Verdict Is In
"If I could give this restaurant 6 out of 5 stars I would. They make the best halal chicken sliders. The staff is very polite, and they are open late. You can actually see a color gradient on the chicken as the spice level increases. I highly recommend this restaurant."
"Dave's Hot Chicken comes on top! The chicken sandwich was deliciously flavored and complimented with seasoned fries. My kids could agree on this place and we had it 3 times in less than 2 weeks."
"Their new chicken bites are really solid — one of the best I've had in fast casual chicken. Pricing is also quite fair for what you get so definitely worth a visit."
"The chicken was surprisingly beautifully cooked — soft, flavorful, and the coating was crunchy without being too thick. We got medium spice and it had a perfect balance. The mayo helped by providing a nice creamy element."
"The chicken was juicy and the other ingredients were fresh. Their fries are great! The price is reasonable given that 3 of us shared for a meal. The restaurant is clean and was not crowded when we went."
