Dave’s Hot Chicken - London

DHC has a new store open in Piccadilly, London. For those who don’t know London well, it’s a bit of a tourist trap, and generally the eateries that open there are pretty chainy and awful. However, there are a few big American imports (Shake Shack, Five Guys) in the area. My impression of DHC from the ‘Boys is that it has a much more indie feel in the States, but there we are.

Menu options are: 2 fillets, a fillet and a slider, or a slider… with crinkle fries and optional sides of Mac and Slaw. I went for the fillet and slider, medium, with fries for £12 (~$15).

It’s… fine. Chicken is juicy, decent level of spice. The fries are bomb, great crunch. The slider itself was sad, with microscopic amount of slaw, some bland pickles and a soggy roll.

Honestly… there is much better fried chicken in London - the branding and the spice level is a cool gimmick, along with the USA factor, but this isnt more than a solid 2.5 forks. 🍴
