Dave’s Hot Chicken, Southern California’s favorite hot chicken spot celebrates its new newest restaurant opening in Fountain Valley. This new restaurant marks the first Orange County Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant, and brings the number of open Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurants to seven, with hundreds more in the pipeline.
Beginning Wednesday, December 23, Dave’s Hot Chicken Fountain Valley will be open from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., seven days a week. The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken tenders and sliders, offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Heat to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), and sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries.
The restaurant will be owned and operated by Kei Concepts. Kei Concepts develops and manages both proprietary brands and incubates emerging concepts from all over the world, including Gem Dining, The Alley, Súp Noodle Bar, The Vox Kitchen, and others.
The Fountain Valley Dave’s Hot Chicken will initially be open for take-out, and delivery through all major third-party providers, including Postmates, Doordash, Ubereats and Grubhub.
“Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to blow people’s minds with an insane combination of craveable hot chicken, unique spice combinations and best-in-class hospitality,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “We’re looking forward to serving the best hot chicken in Orange County, as we continue to build momentum toward what we feel will be a wildly successful 2021.”
Chef Dave, along with his three best friends, came up with the idea for Dave’s Hot Chicken in early 2017. Chef Dave - a classically trained chef and self-described spice freak - was inspired by the unique, flavorful spice of Nashville Hot Chicken and set out to create his own craveable version.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is one of the fastest-growing restaurant concepts in history, having more than 200 locations under contract since it began franchising just over one year ago.
