Why Fried Chicken Day Matters Here

In Louisiana, fried chicken isn’t just food—it’s a cultural institution. Many Shreveport-Bossier spots use recipes passed down through generations, with a twist of Southern hospitality. "Our regulars start asking about Fried Chicken Day weeks in advance," says Leroy Jenkins, owner of Jenkins’ Soul Food Café, known for its 24-hour marinated bird.
