Summary: Very fresh Classic chicken sandwich, but with little flavor at a great price.
Review: My goal to find the best chicken sandwich brought me over to Fritzi Coop one day on my stroll through the Farmer's Market. As I approached the food spot, I was a little intimidated by the prices as it was almost $10+ for the sandwich itself. The workers were pleasant and explained the different options that others tend to get. As someone who cannot handle spice, I opted to go with their Classic chicken sandwich pictured below.
This chicken sandwich was bigger than most chicken sandwiches from other restaurants, yet it was still pricier than what it is worth in my opinion. Assuming because it's from the Farmer's Market, the sandwich was very fresh. You can taste the freshness of the chicken, in addition to the vegetables and bread that come along with it.

Fritzi Coop is tucked in a corner of the Original LA Farmer's Market and it is easy to miss with all the wonderful food stalls that are available. But if you are hankering for fried chicken, they are worth the stop.
I had their classic fried chicken sandwich. I went with mild spice because I was seeking flavor more than heat. It is a nice blend of seasonings and had a crispy, fresh piece of chicken to go with it.
One thing I love about the chicken sandwiches like this one are that they are so big you don't need a side to go with it. This one sandwich was more than enough to fill me up.
I know not everyone takes the time to go to the Farmer's Market. It is a bit of a tourist place. But locals should also stop by here from time to time. They are probably one of LA's first food hall before food halls were ever a thing and they continue to great...
Read moreThe chicken strips were great and Crispy! I’m giving a 1 star for the service the young lady ringing me up is the reason why most restaurants in the future will use robots. (She was ice cold.) and when I got my food the guy inquired if I had my buzzer and I responded “No I had to use the restroom!” However; “ I have my receipt!” which I placed on the counter for him to see, he then handed me my food! and quipped “take your receipt !” I responded “ I don’t need it” he yelled “It’s your trash! I walked away then turned around and came back after walking into the parking lot and picked up the receipt, he was staring with a hateful look that I just didn’t think was coming from me leaving a receipt on the counter. I hope this makes sense as it was such a strange interaction and I simply won’t...
