Word spread fast, lines went around the block, and Dave's Hot Chicken became Nashville-style tenders, sliders, and seven spice levels from No Spice to Reaper — now in the UK, bringing bold flavour, serious heat, and a bit of chaos.

“Zizzi never disappoints - quality food, plenty of choice and genuinely friendly service every time. Whether we’re celebrating something special or just popping in for a meal, it’s always a fantastic experience.”

Zizzi Customer

Coco Sainsbury's Sandwich Shoot2

Hi Coco di Mama team, I just wanted to send a quick (and slightly absurd) note of appreciation for your premium meal deal—specifically the Spicy Chicken Milanese. In the past year, I’ve had roughly 100 of them. Assuming each one is about 22cm long, that means I’ve eaten around 2,200cm... or 22 metres of Spicy Chicken Milanese. That’s basically the length of a bowling lane. Or a very committed food obsession. Safe to say: I’m completely obsessed. It’s genuinely the best thing ever, and it never misses. Thanks for consistently delivering something I clearly can’t get enough of. All the best,

I tried the hottest spice at Nottingham's new Dave's Hot Chicken and it floored me

24 July 2026 | Lynette Pinchess | Nottingham Post

It seemed a good idea at the time, but now I'm about to sign a waiver, and all the staff at Dave's Hot Chicken are looking at me with a mixture of awe and disbelief.

Nottingham's newest fried chicken joint promises to blow your mind, and boy, they're not kidding.

The Nashville-style chicken comes with seven different spice levels, from no spice rising up the heat ranks to Reaper.

The fieriest of all clocks in at 1.6 million on the Scoville scale, using Carolina Reaper, one of the hottest chilli peppers in the world — and I'm about to try it.
