About

Dave's Hot Chicken on Clark Ave in Lakewood, CA is a casual fried chicken joint known for its juicy, halal-certified tenders and sliders across seven heat levels, from No Spice all the way up to Reaper. Every piece is fried and spiced fresh to order using premium ingredients, so the heat always hits with purpose. The sliders are stacked on soft potato buns with pickles, kale slaw, and the house Dave's Sauce, and locals consistently rank them among the crunchiest in Lakewood. The space is laid-back and dog-friendly, with outdoor seating that suits solo visits, group hangouts, and everything in between.
