If they were giving out wing awards, Alondra’s would take home a trophy for “Most Reliable.” The fried chicken at this mini-chain is consistently crispy and tender, no matter which of their five locations in LA you visit. And with over fifteen different flavors on a scale from mild to “this isn’t spicy, this is just rude,” Alondra’s is our go-to spot for big events involving people with varying heat tolerances. Our favorite flavor is chili-lime, which has the zest of citrus peel and the heat of habanero hot sauce.
