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 2026 Centurion Award winner.
