Frenchy's Chicken

The overview

Creole fried chicken in Third Ward since 1969.

Frenchy's Chicken has been "Houston's Favorite Chicken" since 1969, when New Orleans native Percy "Frenchy" Creuzot and his wife Sallie opened a po-boy shop on Scott Street in the Third Ward, near Texas Southern and the University of Houston. Its Creole-seasoned fried chicken, dirty rice and Gris Gris sauce built a devoted, multi-generational following.

A cornerstone of Black Houston's food culture for over 50 years, Frenchy's is the 2025 Centurion Award winner.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Frenchy's Chicken cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
