Dave's Hot Chicken

If there's one food that landed hard in Denver in 2021, it was hot chicken. Although the concept has its roots in Nashville, this spicy specialty seems to be everywhere in the Mile High these days. The Los Angeles-based Dave's Hot Chicken now has two locations in Denver, serving up sliders and tenders in seven levels of heat, from "no spice" to the truly fiery "reaper."
