America’s ‘Halal’ Dave’s Hot Chicken secret slider giveaway

HALAL STATUS Halal chicken

An established US chicken brand will be giving away its famed Nashville-style sliders in preparation for its UK debut next month in London’s Shaftersbury Avenue.

Dave’s Hot Chicken has revealed that it will be serving 500 free sliders on a first-come first-served basis next Wednesday 20 November at 5pm.

Dave’s Hot Chicken was first launched in 2017 by “three childhood friends in their 20’s, who scraped together $900” to open a pop-up stall in a car park in Los Angeles’ East Hollywood.

Inspired by the brand’s humble beginnings, a pop-up giveaway will be taking place in an east London car park opposite 5A Club Row (E1 6JX).

Since then, not only has it enjoyed rapid growth across the US before going international in Dubai and Canada, but the company has confirmed with FtLion that “all the chicken served at Dave’s Hot Chicken [in the UK] will be Halal”.

Their chicken recipe offers seven levels of spice that range from “no spice” all the way up to “extra hot” and finally “reaper”.

Arman Oganesyan of Dave’s Hot Chicken said: “We started in a parking lot, so we’re excited to kick off our exciting London adventure with that same energy. We can’t wait to greet Londoners and visitors alike and give them the full Dave’s experience…on us.”

Following its first opening this December, there will be “60 more stores planned nationwide”.
