This San Fernando Valley Institution Serves Some of Los Angeles's Best Fried Chicken
"Open since 1986, Les Sisters' Southern Kitchen, a Cajun restaurant started by Clara Huling, Roda Hadi and Willie Stanford - three sisters in spirit - has moved from its original home in Chatsworth to Winnetka, but the emphasis on homestyle cooking and old-fashioned hospitality has not wavered. Now run by third-generation owner Jessica Huling, the modest strip mall destination churns out shrimp jambalaya and other regional Louisiana staples alongside soul food classics like collard greens,"
"Whether you go for the hot or mild variety, get the Cajun fried chicken: Golden, crispy-skinned, and nearly greaseless, the well-seasoned crust sets it apart from other styles of American Southern-style fried chicken. The shrimp (or chicken, if shellfish isn't your thing) jambalaya's spice level can be modified to your preferences, but the pillowy grains of rice and mixed vegetables always taste on point."
Open since 1986, Les Sisters' Southern Kitchen began in Chatsworth and relocated to Winnetka while maintaining homestyle cooking and old-fashioned hospitality. Third-generation owner Jessica Huling oversees a modest strip-mall restaurant that serves shrimp jambalaya, regional Louisiana staples, and soul-food classics such as collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and highly praised fried chicken. Regular local customers pick up made-to-order takeout and often know the longtime staff by name. Awards and New Orleans memorabilia decorate the walls. Call-ahead or online ordering is recommended. Beverage offerings include sweet tea, an Arnold Palmer called "muddy water," and New Orleans-style chicory coffee; beignets are served on Sundays.
