Dave’s Hot Chicken, the scrappy late-night pop-up turned hot chicken sensation, today announced the grand opening of its newest restaurant, in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge, across the street from California State University, Northridge. The restaurant, located at 9205 Reseda Blvd., will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, March 19, and will be open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30am until 11:00pm, and Friday and Saturday, 10:30am until midnight.

The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken Tenders and Sliders, along with sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries. Offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), each piece of juicy, hand-breaded chicken utilizes a proprietary spice blend crafted specifically for its heat level.

The newest Los Angeles-area location marks the 10th restaurant opening for the brand, which is on track to open its 100th location within the next two years. Those in attendance for the Northridge grand opening will have the chance to get limited Dave’s Hot Chicken merchandise as well.

“Dave’s Hot Chicken will blow your mind! Every Tender is hot, juicy and spicy,” says Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “Our founders started Dave’s as a parking lot pop-up restaurant in Hollywood with a portable fryer and picnic tables from their backyards just three short years ago.  We are ecstatic to be opening our milestone 10th restaurant right here in Los Angeles near the Cal State Northridge campus.”
