Does anyone have experience with this chain?
We are decidedly lacking in FF chicken places, KFC and Chik-Fil-A being our only options.
Hopefully worth a try.
Tagging @PedroPero because a quick search shows that he’s a frequent hot chickener at DHC. But what I’ve read on a local-to-me FB Eats page seems to be very good.
“Nice late night joint for chicken. Fresh crispy fries and tenders!”
“They actually season their chicken!”
“medium spice which isn’t hot but is flavor packed! The jump to HOT! is hot FYI which i also love. Hot will give you head spice tingles.”
“I am not a big chain guy but I got the slider and tender combo with HOT spice level and it was exactly what I was looking for the other day! A head tingling back end spice heat in the mouth laying on a bed of kale slaw with Dave’s sauce that did just the trick for lunch”
I’ve been a few times. My middle school aged son and his friends are fairly obsessed with the place. (It’s got some sort of relationship with the rapper Drake, which helps; they do freebies on his birthday, for example.)
The menu is very limited: You can get basically chicken or chicken on bread (with a pickle slice or two, IIRC), at maybe 7 or 8 spice levels between nothing at all and “you need to sign a waiver to proceed.” Side options include fries and/or an extra side of sauce. (And they might have mac and cheese too, now that I think about it.)
I’ve not tried the sign-a-waiver level, but the hottest one before that is not what I would consider crazy hot. The chicken itself is pretty decent: Tender, very flavorful, not quite as crunchy as I would prefer.
I’m very much not a fast food kind of guy but I think the food here is pretty good for what it is. Certainly worth a taste if you’re nearby and like spicy stuff.
He was one of the investors in the chain
