Viral US hot chicken sensation Dave’s Hot Chicken is landing in Manchester for the first time and is kicking things off with a one day secret pop up and hundreds of free sliders.

Backed by A listers including Drake Usher and Samuel L Jackson Dave’s Hot Chicken has made waves across the US and recently burst onto the UK food scene with locations in London and Birmingham.
Founded in an East Hollywood parking lot in 2017 Dave’s Hot Chicken has always stayed true to its street food roots. The Manchester pop up echoes that original hustle with a mystery location and free food for the locals who track it down.
Jim Attwood Managing Director of Dave’s Hot Chicken UK said: “Manchester’s been asking for Dave’s and we couldn’t just open quietly. Flying a plane over an Oasis gig with a hotline number felt very us. This is about giving Mancunians a proper first taste of what Dave’s is all about. Big flavour big heat big energy. Come down and get involved — just don’t hang about once the sliders are gone they’re gone.”
