North Louisiana favorite Southern Classic Chicken is bringing its signature fried chicken to Baton Rouge with three locations opening this year. The Shreveport-based chain, founded by brothers Leon and Howard Fanning, has built a loyal following for its 24-hour dry-marinated chicken and affordable meals priced between $5 and $7. The first Baton Rouge restaurant has opened on South Sherwood Forest Boulevard. Next up will be a Florida Boulevard location, with a third site planned for Plank Road. Known for long drive-thru lines and rave reviews, the chain is rapidly growing across Louisiana. ■ southernclassicchicken.com
