Where the sugar comes from: Dave's Hot Chicken US Single Slider

An estimated 6g of the 8g counts as added sugar, or about 1.5 teaspoons. The other 2g is naturally occurring.

Likely added sugar sources

• sugar in the bread or bun
• sugar in Dave's sauce
• sugar in the pickle brine
• sugar in the slaw dressing

Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030: no more than 10g of added sugar per meal from age 11 and none for children aged 10 and under. FDA Daily Value: 50g a day. Dave's Hot Chicken publishes total sugar and no ingredient list, so Boone estimates the added share from the components each item is built from: all sugar in sauces such as hot honey, BBQ and ketchup counts as added, 90% of the sugar in breaded chicken, bread and Dave's sauce, and 75% where cheese, slaw or other vegetables supply some naturally occurring sugar.

Processing: Dave's Hot Chicken US Single Slider

Boone cannot classify this item, because Dave's Hot Chicken does not publish an ingredient list for it.

NOVA classification is read from an ingredient list. Without one there is no way to count additives, separate raw ingredients from manufactured ones, or say whether an item is ultra-processed. Boone does not estimate a NOVA group, because a guess presented as a classification would be worse than saying nothing.

Classification is based on published ingredient lists only. If Dave's Hot Chicken publishes one, this section will be updated.

Ingredients: Dave's Hot Chicken US Single Slider

Dave's Hot Chicken’s US nutrition and allergen charts give figures for Single Slider but no ingredients, and the chain is under no legal obligation to publish them.

Under the FDA menu labeling rule, US restaurant chains with 20 or more locations must post calories on menus and provide further written nutrition information on request. A full ingredient list is not required for food prepared in a restaurant. Some chains publish one anyway.

Without an ingredient list, no page on this site can tell you how many ingredients are in this item, how many of them are manufactured substances, or whether it is ultra-processed. Boone will not estimate any of it.

Allergen information for this item is published by Dave's Hot Chicken and is shown below. Recipes change, so always check in restaurant before ordering if you have an allergy.

Allergen information: Dave's Hot Chicken US Single Slider

Contains = declared in the Dave's Hot Chicken USA allergen chart (revised 29 June 2026), which covers the nine major US food allergens plus mustard, a priority allergen in Canada. Not declared = not listed in that chart, which is not the same as allergen free. Presence is based on ingredient information supplied by manufacturers, and Dave's Hot Chicken states that cross-contact can occur in its kitchens, so no item can be guaranteed allergen free. Gluten from barley, rye or oats is not covered by the chart.
