50 Best Chicken Restaurants in Los Angeles

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“The big sodas with free refills are a huge bonus, and they actually have great flavour too. The honey and sauce are so good and pair perfectly with the chicken — I always end up adding extra. On top of that, the customer service is awesome, fast, and super friendly every time.“

“Im not from the pay and order on a tablet generation. Nope

Wack service, but to be fair the workers probably figure there’s no need because of the tablet. Who knows?

Great relatively low cal burritos! Big burritos! Great music! WeHo music!

They validate!“

“Visited the Manchester UK restaurant today. Did not like it at all!!! Had to wait 20mins for my order and when it came it looked disgusting. The slider I got was a real thin, tough piece of chicken which wasn't very tender and the batter was over done and tasted greasy which was no surprise as it dripped out when I got the carton out and had a hint of a beef taste. The fillet included was just the same but a little bigger but the fries were the saving grace! They were nice a fluffy but the chicken here is terrible and wouldn't visit again. The staff were great but the food was terrible and it didn't even taste like chicken! No wonder they have spice it's to disguise the taste! Anyone trying for the first time I'd recommend getting it with no spice to get what it actually tastes like! Rank and horrible! Will go elsewhere for better quality chicken.“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

“Great for bringing the family together around a real roast chicken with light and crispy fries, stop and enjoy, you will not be disappointed, well done to the smiling and fast team, very clean, perfect establishment

Kid-friendliness: Yes

“The food was hot, fresh , portioned perfectly, and very very tasty!!!“

“Amazing chicken sandwich, fried to order. The slaw that’s on top is perfect, it has a little bit of cilantro and jalapeño. I got the hot, and I like spicy, I think next time I will get the extreme. Amazing mouth numbing spice from the Szechuan peppercorn, all the flavors work really well together. Since the chicken is really oversized I would recommend getting an extra sauce to dip it in, either the hot honey or the daybird sauce. I was too excited from how good it smelled and forgot to take a picture before I started eating, but look at this amazing cross-section!“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“This location is a neighborhood classic! They have been serving the community for decades!! Even though they are extremely busy behind the counter, it is super organized. Everyone knows their place and role, which is why the food is delivered/served with excellence! To me, this is the BEST Louisiana on the planet! Keep up the amazing work, and keep serving the community in excellence!!“

“Such a gem in a LA downtown!! Food is delicious and Boba are amazing! It is one of those places you nearly miss, but I am glad we didn’t. We ordered half pound dose of lemon honey barbecue wings. The food is generous and tasty. Everything is very clean and you have everything at your disposal: cutlery, napkins, fresh wipes, and to go boxes.“

“Red Chickz never disappoints! The chicken is a straight 10/10 — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The sides are just as fire, definitely another 10/10. Big shoutout to Anthony for the amazing customer service. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“Delicious! and great customer service!“

“Easily the best burgers in Los Angeles, this place is a gem. The owner is incredibly kind and has given the community something truly special. It feels great to support an all-Black business. A big shoutout to the polite young brothers in the kitchen as well.

I’m really hoping they’ll bring back that classic French fry recipe!“

“Very tasty food. Wish they open a location in inland empire. Riverside or Redlands.“

“The food is really good! I’ve worked at UCLA for the last 5 years and never stopped by. Decided to come in today because the reviews were good and the chicken reminded me of el pollo loco but better. Not disappointed at all. The employees are extremely nice and let me use the restroom :) Totalyl wish I discovered this spot sooner“

“Small shop inside the mall but the wings is fabulous. The service is excellent, super nice and friendly. This was our first time try the wings there. We love the Yam fry also, fresh and yummy.

“Their charbroiled garlic chicken over fries drenched in garlic au jus is unique and worth the 15 mile drive from home. I normally go to the Pico Union one but this one has easier parking and more seating. They also have more selection but I've never gotten anything but the chicken. It was hot and fresh and as always addicting.“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“Everything about this place is awesome. From all the flavors to the honey that helps cool it down. The self serve soda. Even the seating of being indoor or outdoor is always a plus.“

“I love this place; it’s home to me with great food and staff!!!!“

“phenomenal from start to finish, chicken and waffles are the best!“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“Absolutely delicious food. Competitive prices, and welcoming atmosphere. The servings were generous; You will not leave here hungry. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to my next chance to dine here. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“I had a great experience at Jollibee today! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and my order came out quickly. The Chickenjoy was crispy and juicy, and the Jolly Spaghetti hit the spot as always. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Always a pleasure coming here—feels like home!“

“Delicious food, fried chicken 🐔 the bomb and the pickled veggies are so good. Definitely a place to go in the DTLA area.“

“Some of the best hot chicken in the city! Ive recommended this spot to my coworkers and we're all obsessed. The crew are great and really know their stuff! Their fries are also crazy crispy. My favorite dish is the slider combo with medium spice level.“

“Definitely is one of the best spots in Los Angeles area . George the guy taking orders is always helpful and patient 5 stars service ,as for the food .the lady cooking has that love for cooking that you can enjoy in every bite well done guys keep the good job your food is so good!!“

“When I worked in Hollywood, used to come here all the time. Glad to see still the same good food.

Got the Ceasar Chicken Wrap with a side of chicken pasta. If you want salad, you won't be let down with their popular Chinese Chicken Salad, you can add pasta to it also.

Update 6/21/2025: Food is still great. Only change is, no more inside dining. It was late night, almost closing time, so not sure if they have the tables and benches out during the day.

I brought a newbie here and he loved the rotisserie chicken.

Please open a location in DTLA, Pasadena, Glendale or Burbank area. Thank you.“

“Chicken is not greasy and their potatoe and macaroni salads are good too :)“

“I’ve never been to this place because the area always scared me but I wish I came here sooner!! This place has one of the best tasting chicken in the area it was so good and the fries were pretty decent. The staff were friendly and give you large portions whenever you want Chinese food so that’s dope! It’s just a shame the area brings the place down.“

“I recently stumbled upon this fantastic little spot on the corner, and I had to share. It's a real hidden gem! I highly recommend their number 1 – it's delicious and the price is incredible. It's comparable to Papi Que Rico in terms of quality / taste. They have parking! Definitely worth a try.“

“Holdaak Fried Chicken is a great spot for Korean-style fried chicken lovers. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the Seoul Spicy Chicken Sandwich is a must-try. The daikon slaw adds a nice fresh crunch, and the fries are perfectly cooked. The staff is friendly, though service can be a bit slow during busy times. Overall, a tasty and satisfying experience.“

“Great place for friend chicken! � Totally coming back here.“

“es demasiado rico lo recomiendo“

“They are great at providing excellent customer service. The food is always cooked to perfection in whatever way I make my request and is ready for pick up when I arrive. The Asian woman is always so very accommodating and knows me so well. She always says hi (my son's name) mom.“

“All the food is really Chef's kiss... the downside is you drive all the way over there, and they're often out of a lot of things...

But The Tacos are 🔥

The Garlic noodles are good by themselves, but if you add the shrimp,... 🔥

I think it's garlic soy chicken or something like that but it's deliciously fried with this sauce put on it, and it is very good .

If you don't call it in,
be prepared to wait because they make it all fresh and it's going to take about 20 mins at least... They do give you a little buzzer so you can go sit in your car...

Traffic over there is dicey so it may be a challenge to get in & out of there, but worth it...“
