L.A. Chicken – Richmond

I’ve been having a craving for fried chicken the last couple weeks, and I finally satisfied it one day after school with friends. Drove to Richmond for lunch at L.A. Chicken, something that I saw posted up at FiveLoaves.

It’s not that far of a drive for me, just cross the Knight Street bridge and it’s at Cambie & No. 5. They have lunch combos as you see below, and all come with fries, gravy and a drink. You have your choice of spicy or regular chicken.

We all got a 2 piece (spicy) chicken combo.

The spicy wasn’t spicy, not like tongue numbing spicy. There was a noticeable hint of it though. The chicken was soooo succulent, juicy and full of flavour. It also wasn’t very oily, which I appreciated. The gravy that came with it was like liquid crack, I was this close to drinking the rest of it after I finished all the fries. Oh yea, the fries are good too, similar to A&W fries.

This was the best friend chicken I’ve had in a long time…Vancouver and it’s burbs aren’t known for the best friend chicken in the world but LA is pretty damn on point. Get the spicy…I felt inner peace and joy after a 3 piece meal.

Can’t say I agree with the sort of boutique comfort food that places like Fuel(that name is really a bit much I think) offer…you hire some chef outta school or wherever and ask them to do country fried steak lol c’mon – that place closed. LA is still going strong. Support real local people making real deal eats not some damn yuppie posers making diner food to be all ironic.
