The Los Angeles-based, known for its Nashville-style fried chicken tenders, will serve up no-cost sliders at a total of 230 locations on Thursday, Oct. 24..

Why? Dave’s Hot Chicken is celebrating the birthday of Canadian singer and rapper Drake, who’s an investor in the chain.

“Drake is hooking everyone up with a Dave’s Hot Chicken Slider on him,” Dave’s Hot Chicken said in a news release.
