🍗 The Best Fried Chicken East of LA Downtown – Fat Daddy’s! 💯

If you’re anywhere near West Covina, do not miss Fat Daddy’s inside Haven City Market — in my opinion, it’s the #1 fried chicken spot east of Downtown LA! Every time I order, I end up waiting 15–20 minutes — but that’s because each piece is breaded and fried fresh to order. And trust me — it’s totally worth the wait! ✨ Why it’s so good: The coating is thin, crispy, and light — not heavy like typical American-style fried chicken Inside, the chicken stays incredibly juicy and tender (careful — it’s hot! 🌡️) Well-seasoned and flavorful, but not greasy or overwhelming 🌿 Also tried their new fried okra — crispy outside, tender inside. So good! 🍟 Snack Platter – $15 (Pick 3 items) Great value! Options include: Large fries (regular + sweet potato fries) Fried cheese sticks Onion rings Fish cakes (tempura-style) All delicious — and the chili powder is served on the side, so it’s kid-friendly too! 🚗 One downside: Parking at Haven City can be tough — it’s super popular now. 💡 Pro tip: Order online via 🍙 (Ricepo) for pickup to save time! 📍 Fat Daddy’s Inside Haven City Market, West Covina #FatDaddys #LAFriedChicken #HavenCityEats #WestCovinaFood #CrispyAndJuicy #KidApproved
