About the 10 pc Dave's Bites w/ Fries

The 10 pc Dave's Bites w/ Fries turns the popular Bites snack into a full meal by adding a generous side of Dave's seasoned crinkle-cut fries. You still get ten poppable, white-meat chicken bites fried Nashville-style at your chosen heat level, plus the traditional bread and pickles and a side of Dave's Sauce for dipping β€” now rounded out with the crispy, salty fries that make it a satisfying lunch or dinner on their own.

Bundling the fries into the order is the smarter value play: you get the side at a lower effective price than ordering it separately, and the neutral, salty fries do double duty as a heat buffer. Alternating a hot bite with a fry resets your palate and keeps the spice from stacking too fast β€” which is exactly why this is the most popular way to order the Bites at Medium and above.

πŸ’‘Value tip: ordering the Bites with fries as a bundle costs less than buying the same bites and a side of fries separately. Use a fry between hot bites to reset your palate β€” it's the cheapest spice buffer on the menu.
What's Included

What's Included the 10 pc Dave's Bites w/ Fries

10 White-Meat Chicken Bites

Ten bite-sized pieces of white-meat chicken breast, buttermilk-marinated, seasoned-flour-breaded, and fried to a golden crunch, then tossed in the Nashville spice rub at your chosen heat level.

Seasoned Crinkle-Cut Fries

A side of Dave's signature crinkle-cut fries β€” crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and dusted with seasoning. Their ridged shape holds Dave's Sauce and cheese sauce especially well.

Slices of Bread

Classic white bread served underneath the bites in true Nashville tradition. It absorbs spice oil and works as a built-in cool-down between hotter bites.

Dill Pickles

Crunchy, briny pickle slices that add acid contrast, cut the richness of the fried chicken, and reset the palate between bites.

Dave's Sauce

The signature creamy dipping sauce on the side β€” perfect for both the bites and the fries. Its dairy richness buffers the spice and ties the whole meal together.

How to Customize

Free Heat, Any Level

All seven spice levels are included at no extra charge. Order anywhere from No Spice to Reaper for the same $11.99 β€” the fries help buffer whatever level you choose.

Upgrade Your Fries

Swap the plain fries for cheese fries or add cheese sauce on the side. The melted dairy adds richness and an extra layer of spice relief.

Extra Dave's Sauce (+$0.50)

Add another side of Dave's Sauce so both the bites and the fries get a generous dip. More sauce means more control over the heat in every bite.

Add Kale Slaw

Add a side of kale slaw for a cool, tangy contrast that balances the richness of the bites and fries while slowing the heat buildup.

Swap for Cauli Bites

Replace the chicken with cauliflower for a vegetarian version β€” same breading, same spice rub, same fries, same seven heat levels. Contains dairy and eggs.

Which spice level should I order with the fries?
