Dave’s Hot Chicken 1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries: Price, Nutrition & Allergen Guide (2026)
The Dave’s Hot Chicken “1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries” is the go-to order for anyone who can’t decide between a slider and a tender — because you don’t have to. This combo pairs one crispy chicken tender, one soft potato-bun slider and a full order of crinkle-cut fries in a single order, giving you two different textures and portion styles in one box. It’s one of the most ordered items on the menu because it balances value, variety, and customizable spice levels in a way that single items can’t match.
Below is a complete breakdown of the price, nutrition facts, allergens and what’s actually inside the box — plus how it compares to other combo options on the Dave’s Hot Chicken menu.
💡 Prices and nutrition figures are approximate and can vary slightly by location, spice level, and sauce choice. Always confirm exact numbers with your local store or the official Dave’s app before ordering if you have a medical dietary need.
Price at a Glance
$13.99
Same price across all spice levels — No Spice / Light Mild through Reaper. Price does not change based on heat, only if you add extra sauces, cheese, or upgrade sides.
What’s Inside the Box
This combo is built to give you a taste of both formats on the menu:
🍗
1 Crispy Tender
Served with sliced bread, pickles, and a side of Dave’s sauce
🥪
1 Slider
Soft potato bun, kale slaw, pickles, and a drizzle of Dave’s signature sauce
🍟
Crinkle-Cut Fries
Seasoned and served hot alongside the combo
You can pick any spice level from No Spice / Light Mild up through Reaper, and the tender and slider can even be ordered at different heat levels if you want to compare.
Nutrition Facts
💡 Nutrition databases and in-store sheets don’t fully agree on exact numbers for this combo — figures below reflect the range reported across sources so you get a realistic picture rather than one over-precise number.
Quick takeaway: spice level barely moves the calorie count — going from No Spice to Reaper adds only a small amount from the seasoning oil. The real calorie swings come from sauces, cheese add-ons, and whether you finish the whole basket of fries.
Allergen Information
Because the tender, slider bun, and fries are all prepared in a shared kitchen, this combo touches several major allergens. Here’s what to know before ordering:
🌾 Wheat / Gluten
In the tender breading, slider bun, and fries seasoning.
🥛 Milk / Dairy
Present in sauces, slaw, and possibly the bun depending on the store.
🥚 Egg & Soy
Soy is used in the frying oil and seasoning mixes; egg may appear in sauces.
🌱 Sesame
May be present depending on bun supplier and seasoning blend.
🛢️ Frying oil: All items are cooked in 100% soybean oil — no peanut oil is used. Cross-contact between chicken and cauliflower items is possible since fryers are shared.
🕌 Halal status: Dave’s Hot Chicken is not halal-certified chain-wide. Some franchise locations may source halal chicken — always confirm directly with your specific store.
Cross-contact is possible across the whole menu because fryers and prep surfaces are shared. If you have a severe allergy, speak with staff at your local Dave’s Hot Chicken before ordering.
How It Compares to Other Combos
Not sure if this combo is the right pick? Here’s how it stacks up against the closest alternatives on the menu:
| Combo | Price | Approx. Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Tenders with Fries | $12.99 | 890 – 1,050 |
| 1 Slider with Fries | $10.49 | 900 – 1,120 |
| 1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries | $13.99 | 1,350 – 1,670 |
| 2 Sliders with Fries | $14.99 | 1,200 – 1,400 |
The 1 Tender & 1 Slider combo sits right in the middle price-wise, but tends to run higher in calories than either single-format combo since it includes both a bun-based item and a bread-based tender basket plus fries.
Ways to Make It Lighter
If you love the variety of this combo but want to bring the calories or sodium down a bit, a few simple swaps help:
None of these swaps affect the spice level, so you can still order anywhere from No Spice up to Reaper without changing the nutrition tips above.
Choosing a Spice Level
You can set the tender and slider to different heat levels in the same order, which makes this combo a good way to test a hotter spice level without committing your whole meal to it.
