Willie Mae’s Scotch House – New Orleans, Louisiana

So remember when I told you that Blue Ribbon was my number one fried chicken spot? Well I don’t want to renege on that statement so I will say this place is right next to being my number one. I might have to mull over it a little more though. Look, the flavors are just like how my brother in-law makes his chicken so it’s worth it. I have to admit that Willie Mae has a staple item right here. It’s seasoned quite well but not overly seasoned where you’re trying to grab water. It’s crispy and I can tell it’s been marinating in something to keep the flavor and juiciness. There is a little heat to the chicken but it’s still good. I think they added some cayenne pepper to it or red pepper flakes. I know it’s $15 for 3 pieces and a side but it’s oh so worth it. The sides are not all that good but the chicken is worth the price. Don’t bother going for the cornbread either. You can share the meal but they will charge extra for sharing plates. I wouldn’t share if I was you because you’ll want to eat it all. They usually say it’s a long wait to get seated but I just walked right in and was seated immediately. At first, when I saw the chicken, I was like ah, this might not be good but I was definitely wrong about that. You have to try it to believe it but I know some good fried chicken and this is one of them. It’s homemade comfort food at its best and you’ll savor every bit of this deliciousness.
