Lucky Bird - Los Angeles

The BEST fried chicken in LA! I've been a regular at Lucky Bird for over a year, and it never fails to impress. With countless Nashville hot chicken places around the city, it's refreshing to find one that serves straightforward, delicious fried chicken. It's hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever tasted. The owners are genuinely kind people who truly deserve some support from the LA community during these challenging times.

I was visiting LA and decided to drop by this restaurant. It was fantastic! If I lived here, I might end up weighing 300 lbs. because I would eat here all the time. It was such a fun experience, and the owner was wonderful to talk to. He is an incredible person who created this amazing business. I highly recommend eating here and supporting small businesses as they recover from the COVID lockdown. I want them to still be around for my next trip to LA!

The service was excellent and subtly attentive. I was sharing the sandwich with someone, and they thoughtfully served it cut in half for us without us having to ask, along with a share plate. Interestingly, the guest next to us, who was enjoying his sandwich solo, received his whole. The napkins and utensils are self-serve at the counter, but when the waiter noticed we didn’t have any within easy reach, he promptly brought us more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

Best Fried Chicken in LA! The sandwiches are made with thigh meat, which we love! The sauce and pickles are the perfect addition to the crispy, juicy chicken. Love the potato salad and pickled veggies! Super clean, friendly staff and delicious food. Love Lucky Bird!

The chicken was stupidly juicy. It is rare that you get a giant leg, breast, and thigh that are all cooked to perfection like this. Each piece is topped with a bit of salt and lemon zest, which sounds a little weird, but brings an awesome hint of flavor to the chicken that has to be tried. The only thing missing is a hint of spice to the batter. And while they give you hot sauce, I much prefer having a little seasoning mixed in. The service was great and the food came out quickly and was piping hot. I can't really find fault with anything, but the lack of seasoning in the batter means that it is missing that extra something.
