Fried chicken in L.A. (besides Roscoe's)

I'm looking for a spot that sells whole fried chicken (cut up) to go. Roscoe's is an obvious spot but they only do half chickens and the shit ain't cheap. We might also get a few Zankou chickens but we'd like to cop some fried ones too.

    not fried... but if you're looking for cheap chicken go to dino's burgers on pico. you get a half chicken that's like flourescent orange on top of some fries in this weird greek sauce and some coleslaw and corn tortillas for $4.25. can't beat that.

    but i'd also suggest pollo a la brasa on western and 8th. cost a little more, but this peruvian rotisserie is way better than zankou.

    up the street from roscoes [on pico] is maurice's. pretty damn good southern style fried chicken but its not much cheaper than roscoes. go further east on pico and where the ralphs is theres a haitian owned fried chicken joint that is substantially cheaper. decent, but much more greasy than the southern version. the jukebox is bangin though.

    i think aser asked about LA fried chicken on here. you should do a search.

    INDEED!

    wood fired goodness. the guatemalan chain pollo campero is close by too. decent, cheap guatemalan fried and rotisserie chicken.

    and dont front on el pollo loco. i know its a corny chain but in a pinch their chicken aint bad at all.

    good to know I ain't alone in this.

    Also, I've recommended it before but it deserves another nod, KICKIN CHICKEN on Washington a block west of La Brea is most definitly a polace to eat at. They got weird hours nowadays but its worth driving by just to see if its open

    Damn a C? So basically you order a chicken and there's two rats fucking on your plate next to it?
