I was admiring the cactus and sand dunes as we were driving through Arizona towards the Grand Canyon. Amazing how big cactus could get in the dry desert. There were small towns and rest stops that broke up the desert landscape.
I was excited to see a Chester’s Fried Chicken sign. I’m a huge fan of fried chicken and never seen a Chester’s.
It seems Chester’s was inside Love’s which was a gas station/truck stop chain in Arizona. I don’t usually eat at gas stations as I don’t want to breathe in fumes longer than necessary. I made an exception as fried chicken was involved. It was pretty busy inside. Every few minutes someone on the intercom announced a shower was ready. I guess it was for the truckers.
Line moved quickly and the price about the same as other fast food fried chicken spots.
I ordered the 2 piece snack.
This turned out to be a leg and thigh. Batter was nice and crunchy. Chicken was juicy and fresh. Flavor was a bit like Popeye’s mild. Potato wedges had a nice fried and seasoned flavor. A little like KFC. Biscuit was fresh and had a bit of sweetness from the brushed on honey. Flavor and texture just like a KFC biscuit.
I’d visit again if I was driving by craving fried chicken. Chester’s is a nice change from Popeye’s and KFC.

Great place for a pit stop after hours of driving. It’s nice they have a small seating area so you don’t have to eat in your car. Glad to hear you liked the chicken.
Chester’s was more tempting than Subway. 🙂
