Chester's Fried Chicken

Chester's Fried Chicken has a smaller menu than it's competitors. it's in a Fruitvale gas station convenience store. i had low expectations. this place was a backup when a taco popup couldn't be found..offerings: tenders, wings, fried chicken, combos, sides, chic. sammie.eats: chicken tenders (4/5.99) with one dipping sauce.-tenders not the usual strips, were crescent shaped. moist, slightly salty.lightly crusted, not an abundance of chemicals. not a lot of flavor. not dry either.-honey mustard dip lacked body, just slight flavors.3.5 stars fried chicken prices buried in the middle...crumbs:-quick, courteous, service-didn't see any burgers on menu. -

Chester's Fried Chicken (CFC) is good, low priced fried chicken sold at a gas station in East Oakland. It's not as salty as KKC, and not as pricey as KFC. Today I ordered an 8-pc Chicken only and Potato Wedges. The chicken is ok. It doesn't have alot of flavoring or seasoning. But my chicken was moist and hot. The chicken isn't crispy or crunchy. The potato wedges were fresh and crisp. Nutritional info and ingredients shown on box.Ketchup, hot sauce, and napkins included.

Chester's provides cheap fried chicken. The price is relatively low, and the quality is commensurate. I tried the fried chicken sandwich at $4.29 plus the fried potato wedges at $1.49. Total out the door was about $7 with tax. What a deal. The chicken used for the fried chicken was a little lower on the quality side. It was over fried so it became a bit dry. Despite that, it had an excellent thick, crispy coating around it. The fried breading was probably the best part. The chicken sandwich comes with two tenderloins, some lettuce, and pickles. The potato wedges were premade. They sit under a heat lamp. As such, they weren't as crispy as I would have liked. For the price though, they were good.It took approximately 13 minutes to produce my order with no other customers in the establishment. This was likely because the chicken had to be fried fresh. I doubt they do this for every order, but it was appreciated. Parking is easy. This place shares a lot with the Shell Gas station, so just take any space available.You can ask for ketchup on the side by request. They declined to provide a glass of water.

I visited this place recently and I wish I did this long time ago. I stopped to get some gas, the price was very low comparing to other shell gas stations. From the moment I stopped I can tell that the owner was taking care of his business. The way of how he advertised his business was unique . I was greeted when I entered the store and the staffs were so friendly. The smell of the store was fresh unlike other stores and the products were well organized and maintained. Finally, I tasted the chicken tinder and wooow the crispiness and deliciousness was incredible. If I can give this store a 100/10 I would. Highly recommended and I would definitely come back again..
