Dave’s Hot Chicken, a popular chicken tender chain based out of California, is opening a location in Tanger Outlets Seaside. The restaurant’s menu features chicken tenders, chicken sliders and french fries.

The exact opening date is unknown, but the company’s website has it listed as, “COMING SOON!!!” There is also a sign hanging in the under-construction storefront next to Mission BBQ. Michele Doucette, marketing director for Tanger Outlets’ Rehoboth operation, said the opening is scheduled for the beginning of the second quarter.

This will be the second Dave’s Hot Chicken in Delaware. The first one opened in August in Dover. According to the company’s online map, these are the only two on the Delmarva Peninsula.
