The newest menu item at Dave's Hot Chicken is small on size but huge on flavor. By Tuesday, the company will debut Mini Sliders across its 300 locations. Each order features four sliders on potato buns topped with chicken, kale slaw, pickle and Dave's Sauce. They cost $7.49 or $10.49 with fries.

"Our culinary innovation team always keeps the focus on our hot, juicy, spicy chicken, which has created countless fans across the globe," CEO Bill Phelps said in a company press release. "This time, they not only made something delicious, they made something very fun to eat. So, our new Mini Sliders called for a way to announce them that was every bit as fun."

Prescribing 'Davezempic'

Recognizing that many people are striving for better portion control, Dave's Hot Chicken is humorously suggesting that each order of four Mini Sliders can satisfy one person … or a party of four on GLP-1. To celebrate the launch, Dave's held a preview last week for select fans. Attendees received a prescription invitation for the event and arrived to find employees in lab coats dispensing toy syringes filled with Dave's sauce, called Davezempic, to apply as needed to their Mini Sliders.

For a limited time, guests at all locations will receive their Mini Sliders with a Davezempic prescription label on the box.
