Church’s Texas Chicken

This fast food chain is famous for its affordable, ultra-delicious Texas-style chicken. Most locations are in South L.A. (with outliers in El Monte, Long Beach, Monrovia and Baldwin Park), but it’s worth driving if you’re from out of the way for Church’s shaggy, cornflake-like crust, as well as those addicting honey-covered biscuits, fried okra and frosted apple pies for dessert. While I’m now a huge fan of locally owned Louisiana Fried Chicken, I’ll always have a soft spot for Church’s small, glistening biscuits, which pair wonderfully with this fast food chain’s family-style boxes. Plus, there’s a convenient drive-thru option, unlike almost every other top-rated fried chicken place in L.A.
