    Wow! I haven’t had Pioneer Chicken since I was a child. How was it?
    Happy birthday!

    I totally miss Pioneer Chicken. Used to be one in west LA.

    I used to love going to Pioneer with my dad, picking up a family pac to go.

    All of them but two are gone nowadays and I’m not sure the one in Boyle Heights and the one in Bell Gardens are even the same company.

    The recipes were definitely different, and they’ve both changed several times over the decades.

    Haven’t gone to either since the pandemic started. I was told they revamped the Boyle Heights one. Did they go back to the original recipe as well?

    Happy Birthday! I’m an LA transplant (from Chicago) and have never had Pioneer, I’ll have to try it!

    Pioneer Chicken aka Fried Chicken Tempura

    A buddy of mine was a manager back in the 80s

    HBD! TIL that Pioneer Chicken is still operating in LA. The last one that I saw was in Hacienda Heights. Really miss that place.

    Happy Birthday! I loved Pioneer Chicken growing up in the San Fernando valley in the 70s…I had no idea there were any locations still in existence. Good memories!!

  10. Happy belated birthday! Great choice for food always hit the spot 😋

    Pioneer chicken is hands down one of the best fried chicken spots in the area. Never tried the shrimp but I’ll take your word for it and get the plate next time I go. Happy Birthday man

    L.A. knows. I grew up on this. There was a pioneer a few min from my house growing up and then KFC took it over. I was so mad. Haven’t had it in 25-30 years 🙁
