Louisiana can claim so many delicious dishes, it's almost impossible to keep track. While Popeye's may be the main brand when it comes to Louisiana fried chicken, there is one special spot, in particular, that's home to some of the best fried chicken in Louisiana. It's so good, in fact, that it has a cult-like following! Trust us, after just one bite of the chicken at Willie Mae's in Louisiana, you'll be a customer for life.
Right in the heart of the historic Treme neighborhood in New Orleans, Willie Mae’s Scotch House has been serving up some of the best fried chicken in Louisiana since 1957.
This humble little eatery is known to have a line that can wrap around the block, which is always a good indicator that you’ve come to the right spot.
From seafood platters to butter beans, Willie Mae's is the ultimate comfort food joint.
But the real star of the show is the fried chicken.
Willie Mae's is known to have some of the best fried chicken in the entire country, not just Louisiana or New Orleans.
Seasoned to perfection and fried up to a crispy, golden perfection, there's just nothing better.
Don't forget about the sides! Mac and cheese and fries are always a safe bet, but we'd recommend getting the iconic fried okra and the famous cornbread muffins for the true experience.
And, of course, you've got to splash a dash of Crystal on your chicken.
It's just how we do things.
