Fritzi Coop

Tucked inside the historic Farmers Market at The Grove, Fritzi Coop has carved out a reputation as one of LA’s go-to spots for seriously good hot chicken. The casual counter-service setup makes it perfect for a quick lunch or an easy meal while shopping, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the vibrant market atmosphere.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. A substantial piece of perfectly fried chicken arrives with a gorgeous crimson hue, generously brushed with spicy oil that delivers real heat without overwhelming your taste buds. The fresh brioche bun has that beautiful glossy sheen, and the jalapeño slaw brings a tangy crunch that plays nicely against the crispy chicken. Sweet pickles round out each bite, offering just enough sweetness to temper the spice.

Beyond the sandwich, Fritzi Coop offers both grilled “naked” chicken for those watching their intake and full-fried spicy tenders for maximum indulgence. What really sets this place apart from typical chicken spots is the attention to sides—instead of boring standard fries, you get your choice of fresh curly fries or tater tots. The dipping sauce selection includes barbecue, Louisiana hot, buffalo, and a roasted garlic aioli that’s worth asking for on the side.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite during a shopping trip or seeking out some of the best hot chicken in the Fairfax area, Fritzi Coop delivers. It’s an ideal lunch spot with great outdoor seating, perfect for soaking in the classic LA Farmers Market vibe while enjoying some seriously satisfying fried chicken.
