Lucy’s has been Austin’s go-to for Southern-style comfort food since 2011—expanding, relocating, and eventually returning home to its original South Congress location. The menu is full of deep-fried deviled eggs, chili-smothered tots, and cornbread with tequila butter, but it’s all a warm-up act for the bird. If there’s a way to prepare it, Lucy’s probably has it: brined and grilled, tucked into sandwiches, folded into a salad, or fried and served by the basket. That basket, by the way, is what you should be sharing with the table. It’s not the crispiest in town, but it’s juicy and seasoned with the kind of homemade charm that rarely disappoints.
