Dave's Hot Chicken Calories & Nutrition Guide
Dave's official nutrition figures for the combos, single items, sides, shakes and sauces — plus a calculator to total your own order before you buy.
Nutrition information may vary by location, preparation and customization.
Quick answer
Does Dave's Hot Chicken provide nutrition information?
Yes. Dave's publishes an official Nutrition Information chart (revised March 2026). On that chart the numbered combos run from 930 calories (Dave's #5, lowest spice band) to 1,620 calories (Dave's #2, highest spice band). The full chart is reproduced below with Dave's own figures, and the meal calculator totals an order for you. Confirm current details with your restaurant, because recipes and portioning can change.

Dave's Hot Chicken menu items can include chicken, bread, fries, sauces, toppings, drinks and other ingredients. The nutrition profile of an order depends on the item selected, the serving size, included sides and any changes made during ordering.
The chart below reproduces the figures from Dave's official Nutrition Information documents (foods chart revised 16 March 2026, drinks chart revised 12 March 2026), which Dave's says were prepared by registered dietitians using laboratory testing and standard recipes. Chicken items appear in two spice bands in the official chart — Not Hot & Lite Mild and Mild–Reaper — so most chicken items show a range rather than one number.
Dave's Hot Chicken Nutrition Chart
Every figure in these tables comes from Dave's official Nutrition Information chart. Where an item shows a range, the lower figure is the Not Hot & Lite Mild spice band and the higher figure is the Mild–Reaper band, exactly as Dave's publishes them. Values are for standard recipes; customisation changes them.

How to Read Nutrition Information
Meal Components
Review the chicken, bread, fries, sauces, toppings and drinks that are included with the selected menu item.
Customization
Changes to sauces, sides, toppings, portions or beverages can affect the nutrition information for an order.
Location
Confirm current details with the restaurant and the menu shown for the location where you plan to order.
Menu Category Nutrition Guidance
Use these categories as a checklist when reviewing a Dave's Hot Chicken order. They are guidance topics, not claims that each category has a currently verified nutrition value on this page.
Chicken, Tenders & Sliders
Review the selected chicken item, breading, serving size and spice preparation in the official information available for your location.
Meals & Loaded Fries
Check the full combination rather than considering the main item alone. Sides, toppings and sauces are part of the order.
Sides & Sauces
Treat sides and dipping sauces as separate components when comparing menu choices or checking dietary requirements.
Drinks & Shakes
Review beverage size and ingredients separately because drinks can change the nutrition profile of a complete meal.
Allergens and Dietary Considerations
Anyone managing a food allergy or dietary restriction should use the official allergen and nutrition resource, then confirm details directly with the selected restaurant before ordering. Preparation practices, ingredients and available items may differ by location.
Allergy Questions
Ask the restaurant about current ingredients, preparation practices and possible cross-contact before placing an order.
Dietary Choices
Confirm the ingredients and preparation of any item that needs to meet a specific dietary preference or restriction.
Dave's Hot Chicken Calories FAQ
Dave's official website links to its Allergens & Nutrition resource. Use that source and confirm details with the restaurant selected for your order.
Nutrition information can vary by location, available menu items, preparation, serving size and customization. Confirm current information before ordering.
Yes. Changing sauces, sides, toppings, portions or beverages can affect the nutrition profile of the complete order.
No. This is an independent informational guide. Refer to Dave's official resource and your selected restaurant for current nutrition and allergen details.
On Dave's official nutrition chart, the numbered combos run from 930 calories (Dave's #5, Not Hot & Lite Mild) to 1,620 calories (Dave's #2, Mild–Reaper). A Dave's #2 on its own is 1,500 calories in the lower spice band and 1,620 in the higher band, before drinks or extras.
Yes, slightly. Dave's official chart lists chicken items in two bands — Not Hot & Lite Mild and Mild–Reaper — and the higher band runs a little higher: a Single Tender is 490 calories in the lower band and 550 in the higher band. The full chart above shows both figures for every item.
Among single chicken items, a Single Tender at Not Hot or Lite Mild is 490 calories, and the lightest numbered combo is Dave's #5 at 930 calories. Kale Slaw is the lightest side on the official chart at 270 calories, and water or a zero-calorie drink adds nothing.
Of the standard meals, Dave's #2 has the most protein on the official chart at 68 g. Dave's #1 has 56 g, and a 10-piece Dave's Bites has 41 g — the highest of the single items.
