Dave’s Hot Chicken – Fenway

Dave’s Hot Chicken on Boylston Street lets you choose how much heat goes into your meal, from no spice through Reaper. Tenders, bites and chicken sliders are the main orders. The sliders come on potato buns with kale slaw, pickles and the house sauce, giving the seasoned chicken something cool and crunchy alongside it.

Fries and shakes round out the menu, and the restaurant identifies its chicken as halal. The Fenway branch is a casual option for lunch, dinner or takeout near the ballpark, with late service listed on its own location page. You don’t have to choose a punishing spice level to eat here; the range includes mild options. Pick the Boylston Street branch when ordering, since Boston has more than one Dave’s location.
