Hot Box of Minis
A party-sized box of 20 mini sliders with your choice of two heat levels — Nashville-style fried chicken on potato buns with kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's Sauce. Built to feed a group of about five, it's the easiest way to bring Dave's to a crowd.
About the Hot Box of Minis
The Hot Box of Minis is Dave's go-to catering and group order. Twenty mini sliders arrive packed and ready to share, each one stacking Nashville-style fried chicken on a soft potato bun with kale slaw, dill pickles, and Dave's Sauce. Because you pick two heat levels for the box, you can keep half the sliders crowd-friendly and crank the other half up for the spice lovers at the table.
Designed to serve about five people, the Hot Box is the most economical way to feed a group at Dave's — far cheaper per slider than ordering individual 4-packs. It's a natural fit for office lunches, game days, family dinners, and parties where you want everyone covered without juggling separate orders. Choose your two levels thoughtfully — a milder option plus a bolder one usually keeps the whole crowd happy.

Kale Slaw
A large slaw gives the table cool, tangy cooldown bites — especially welcome alongside the hotter half of the box.
Best Pairing
Dave's Sauce
Extra sauce on the side is a must when feeding five — everyone dips, and it modulates the heat across both levels.
