Best Fried Chicken in Houston · Houston, TX
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 2026 Centurion Award winner.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.
