Just wanted to mention to others in the area who enjoy hot chicken that I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken for the first time last night and was very underwhelmed. Got one of their hot chicken sandwiches and overall it was good, but left a lot to be desired.
The portions were huge, chicken was well cooked and super crispy, the bun they used was nice and sweet / soft, included dill pickle slices combo’d well with the spice, and the side of crinkle fries were well seasoned and nice and crispy.
Where it falls off is the way it was seasoned. The chicken is dusted versus being tossed in oil and spices. Every bite of the chicken was simultaneously moist and dry. Like I was eating a spoonful of cayenne pepper with each bite of my chicken.
I’d give the place a 6/10, so wanted to give you all a heads up. If you’re looking for hot chicken in the area I don’t think Dave’s is worth it when we have Sister & Brothers in Queen Anne with better prices and much better food.
tl;dr: Dave’s Hot Chicken is not worth the hype. Check out Sisters & Brothers if you want hot chicken!
