Dave's Hot Chicken is a casual fried chicken joint on Fletcher Pkwy in El Cajon, CA, founded by chef Dave Kopushyan, trained in Thomas Keller's organization, alongside best friends Arman Oganesyan and Tommy and Gary Rubenyan. The menu centers on full-sized chicken tenders and sandwiches available in seven heat levels, from No Spice all the way up to Reaper. Signature items include the fried chicken sandwich stacked on a potato bun with kale slaw, crunchy pickles, and Dave's Sauce. The space has a modern, buzzing energy that suits everything from a quick solo meal to a family outing or a group hangout. Reviewers praise the crinkle-cut fries, the mac and cheese, and the Dave's Not Chicken cauliflower option for plant-based diners.
You can find Dave's Hot Chicken at 110 Fletcher Pkwy, Suite 109, El Cajon, CA 92020.
