Dave’s Hot Chicken gives away free chicken sliders for one day only

Any giveaway involving free food is already a reason to celebrate for bargain hunters!

And Dave’s Hot Chicken is hosting its fourth annual FREE Slider Day on Oct. 13, 2026. However, this year, they have officially changed the name to Dave’s Day!

The popular eatery specializes in Hot Chicken Sliders and Tenders, along with sides of Kale Slaw, Mac & Cheese and French Fries.

In celebration of FREE Slider Day Dave’s Day, Dave’s Hot Chicken is giving away a FREE Chicken Slider on Oct. 13, 2026 at participating locations. 

Each piece of hand-breaded chicken is spiced-to-order, using a spice-blend crafted specifically for its heat level. Choose from seven spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper. (The latter requires a signed waiver for those who dare.)

The giveaway is only available in-restaurant — not online or for delivery.

Here’s how to redeem the offer:

Download the Dave’s Hot Chicken app and create an account.

Redeem the ‘FREE SLIDER’ reward on Oct. 13, 2026. (The reward will appear in the ‘Rewards’ section of the app for both new and existing members.)

Head to your nearest Dave’s Hot Chicken and redeem in-store.
