Mike’s Hot Honey at Dave’s: Sliders, Mozz & Dip
Discover Dave’s Hot Honey Slider, Hot Honey Hot Mozz and Mike’s Hot Honey Dipper, with local availability, pricing and ingredient checks.
Hot honey brings together sweetness and chili heat, and several Dave’s Hot Chicken locations now feature it in more than one form. The official menus checked list a Hot Honey Slider drizzled with Mike’s Hot Honey, a Hot Honey Hot Mozz cheese item and, at some stores, a separate Mike’s Hot Honey Dipper. These are not three names for one identical meal. One is a chicken sandwich, another is fried mozzarella and the last is a side cup. Knowing which is which makes it easier to compare prices and avoid buying the wrong product.
Participating Dave’s locations list Mike’s Hot Honey on a slider, on fried Hot Mozz and as a dipping sauce. The named items and local prices differ, so verify availability in your selected restaurant’s menu.
Where does Mike’s Hot Honey appear?
The official store menu reviewed under new items lists a Hot Honey Slider served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and both Dave’s Sauce and Mike’s Hot Honey. It also displays a Dave’s Hot Honey Hot Mozz product described as fried mozzarella with Mike’s Hot Honey drizzled on top. A separate official location menu lists a Side of Mike’s Hot Honey Dipper. Some checkout pages use a Hot Hot Honey Dipper name instead. That difference means you should look carefully at the exact product or brand in your local menu. It is not safe to assume that every store has every format.
What is the Hot Honey Slider?
The Hot Honey Slider is based on the standard chicken slider idea, with potato bun, kale slaw, pickles and Dave’s Sauce. The named hot honey drizzle adds a sweet and spicy element. At a checked store, it was listed at $7.99, while a version with fries appeared at $11.99. Those are examples from one restaurant and can change. The separate with-fries product matters because a Single Slider by itself does not automatically include that side. If you already enjoy the classic slider, this is a way to try a different sauce combination without changing the entire meal format.
| Option | What it means | Good to check |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Honey Slider | Chicken slider with Dave’s Sauce and Mike’s honey | Fries version separate |
| Hot Honey Hot Mozz | Fried cheese with honey drizzle | Contains dairy |
| Mike’s Hot Honey Dipper | Separate dipping cup | $1.49 at one store |
| Hot Hot Honey Dipper | Alternative modifier name on some menus | Verify exact product |
What is Hot Honey Hot Mozz?
Dave’s Hot Mozz is a fried mozzarella plank product. The hot honey variation adds a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey to that cheese-centered snack. One official menu described it as crispy and cheese-filled, with the honey supplying the sweet spicy contrast. A listed $7.99 price at one store is not a nationwide guarantee. This is not a chicken tender or a slider, so it may interest someone who wants a side rather than a sandwich. But it contains cheese and fried coating, which are important to consider for allergies or dietary needs. Never label it vegan or gluten free without official confirmation.
How does the Hot Honey Dipper differ?
A Dipper is a separate cup chosen from an ordering screen, rather than honey already added to a named slider or mozzarella item. This gives you more control over how much you use on tenders, Bites, fries or a sandwich. A checked official menu listed the Side of Mike’s Hot Honey at $1.49. Another menu’s modifiers named Hot Hot Honey for the optional sauce. Read the local item title and do not assume the two names refer to exactly the same formulation. If you buy a Hot Honey Slider, check what is already drizzled on it before paying for an extra cup.
A simple visual comparison
This original graphic illustrates the subject of this article. It is not an official food photograph, a laboratory heat test or a claim about your local store’s exact serving.
Does hot honey replace the chicken heat level?
Not necessarily. On a chicken slider, the honey drizzle is a topping, while the core chicken may still use a selected heat level. A mild slider with hot honey can taste different from an Extra Hot slider with the same drizzle. The official menu does not provide exact Scoville numbers for all combinations. Honey adds sweetness but does not cancel extreme pepper heat or make a risky Reaper challenge safe. Choose the chicken seasoning and the honey addition separately where the ordering controls allow. If you are sensitive to chili, read the full product description rather than assuming ‘honey’ means no heat.
Who is likely to enjoy it?
This option may appeal to someone who likes sweet and spicy flavors together. A classic slider focuses more on chicken seasoning, slaw, pickles and Dave’s Sauce. The honey version adds a clear sweet note. The mozzarella variation pairs that sauce with cheese instead of chicken. The Dipper lets you experiment with a little sauce alongside food you already know. These are menu-based pairing suggestions, not conclusions from a firsthand taste test. If you prefer savory food without sweetness, there is no need to choose a honey product simply because it appears in the new-items section.
What ingredients and allergens matter?
Honey itself is an animal-derived ingredient and is not vegan. The full hot honey product can contain other ingredients, and a sauce name does not serve as a complete ingredient label. The slider adds chicken, bun, slaw and sauce; Hot Mozz adds dairy and fried coating. People with allergies or strict diets should review current official information and contact the store about preparation. If you avoid chili heat for a medical reason, remember the product is specifically described as hot honey. It would be misleading to call a sweet sauce harmless just because it is made with honey.
How do you find current prices?
Open the official ordering page for your chosen location. Look under new items for Hot Honey Slider or Hot Honey Hot Mozz, then check optional Dippers on the relevant food product. Compare the basic item against its fries version if you want a full meal. If you cannot find one of the honey choices at your local store, do not assume it is hidden or that another restaurant’s price applies. New products can be limited to participating locations and can change. The full cart with sides, sauce, tax and delivery gives the amount you will actually pay.
