Fried chicken at a gas station?! Yep! At the Bad Bud's, Cedar and Herndon. I was craving some fried chicken and it seems like KFC's coating is just greasy mush anymore, so after reading the reviews I decided to try KKC. Nice employees. The girl helped me and the guy said a fresh batch had just come out. I ordered the 8 pieces of legs and thighs. We didn't eat until about an hour later, but the coating was still crispy. The seasoning was OK, but not spectacular where I'd have to have it again. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. A perk of ordering dark meat. The area where the chicken is prepared and sold in the mini mart was neat and clean. Might try them again... read more

If you don't know what to expect, just know that their chicken beats out the national heavyweights, in terms of fried chicken. The crisp is on point, the spice has enough zip to remind you that your taste buds enjoy being tantalized, and the chicken aren't some awkward size. This particular location has good customer service. I don't think they have seating like some other joints, and they are lacking on the sides. Another concern to note is that they cook throughout the day, so if they were bum rushed just previous to your arrival, you may have to wait 5-15 minutes. read more

When we first tried this chicken we were blown AWAY. It's so delicious and crunchy while also being so juicy. I was a surprised, it's definitely one of our favorites places to get chicken from and it's so quick and easy. The prices are wonderful as well! The people I've experienced that work there, they have been so helpful and kind! Quickly getting me my food so that i'm in and out! 100% recommend!! Can't eat it all? No problem, we have an air fryer and if you just throw it in there for 5 minutes it comes out as if it was freshly made! The potato wedges are also sooo delicious and have a slight crunch that makes them perfect! read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - Combo meal w 3 Piece Chicken and potato wedges - Comfort Food Near Me - Fresno, California

Similar to most reviews I saw, I was hesitant to try gas station chicken but it was worth the try! By the time it took me to fill a tank of gas, my husband was already walking out with a box of piping hot chicken! Staff was helpful in answering our questions, we thought the mixed would have chicken breast but found out they don't sell chicken breast anymore. The chicken meat itself was really good, 10/10 moist and flavorful. The batter is thin and very crispy but some bites were just too salty for me. I'd be down to grab this once in a while when I'm craving though! read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - 12 piece mixed drumsticks and thighs/wings - Comfort Food Near Me - Fresno, California

I've been wanting to try this place for years and finally found myself in the position to do so. The menu was not absolutely clear, so the young lady behind the counter was quite helpful in explaining things. I ended up with a family meal that included fried chicken pieces, chicken strips, potato wedges, and biscuits. Everything was delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and moist. The potato wedges and chicken strips were crisp and tasty, and the biscuits were sweet and buttery. I was really impressed, and the price was right. All things considered, this will be the place i go to for fried chicken from now on. read more

That fried chicken didn't just slap, it roundhouse kicked my taste buds into next week. I took one bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to not eat here sooner.I took one bite, and my soul briefly left my body. I saw memories I didn't know I had. My ex texted me. My credit score improved. This chicken healed emotional wounds I didn't realize I was carrying. read more

The chicken was freshly fried and super crunchy. I could hear the crunch with every bite. If you're a fan of crispy chicken, this is your place., read more

Been in the area for 17 years and never stopped at any Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I admit, the only other gas station I stop at for food is the Mobil in Lee Vining (amazingly good for a gas station, BTW). Visited at 1030am. Husband had an appointment, so I roamed around in the meantime. I have to admit, this chicken is really good! There's no line and at $6.47 for 4 tenders, 2 sauces, and a little biscuit, out the door. Why wouldn't I rate it 5 stars?! Albeit, it's salty for me, but that's how I'm made. It's not really super Cajun with the spice, but the tenders were crispy, crunchy,, hot, fresh, tender, and exceeded expectation! Not overly battered like some places and btter than any tenders you'll get in the frozen section. Not gonna lie, I don't discriminate when it comes to tasty fried chicken, but this place tastes better than Addendum next to AD Hoc in Yountville (sorry, Thomas Keller... I know you gave my husband an internship decades ago, but we like your other food more)! read more

Never thought I would enjoy gas station fried chicken. So, don't judge until you try it!

I called in an rather simple order for fresh fried chicken. This process went down flawlessly by a friendly and eager to please staff. The chicken was seasoned well and the food was hot an very palatable. If you want some nice fried food you won't be disappointed! read more

Love, love, love their wings. Costs more, but well worth the price. Service was good. Wings always fresh if u don't mind the short wait.

Lady named Hellen works there and she has this power trip I guess. She was rude and told me they can't take 100 dollar bills at a gas station. I was very excited to eat there. It's my favorite place to get chicken. But I will not buy from there as long as Hellen works there. This place used to have nice workers there. I have no idea what happened. read more

Taste is great and employees vey nice and patient. Only down side is finding the right number. I often get the corporate office instead of Herndon/cedar location. read more

So good PERIOD. Jambalaya, red beans and rice, fried chicken, biscuits wings all , so good, they are missing the hot boiled peanuts though.

Hit or miss. The "Cajun" (though not hot at all) tenders first time ... Incredible had seasoning tasted awesome better than Popeyes. Second time ehh not even close to Popeyes didn't have the seasoning (or enough of at least) that was on there the first visit and had clearly been sitting out for long time under heat lamp. Third time the tenders were fresh because they had to make more for us but still ehh not at Popeyes level in terms of taste / seasoning but still a solid tender. They only had the legs and thighs everytime and out of the other pieces. But tried these twice and here yeah go: tough exterior breading overcooked crunchy to extreme skin was ehh, not good flavor no seasoning, and oily inside. I prefer tenders anyway myself so others might have different opinion on the pieces. On top of that been sitting out. Not worth the price for these. The potato wedges are decent (plain tasting no special seasoning detected). The dipping sauces amazing for dipping the chicken in... Original is awesome 10/10, boom boom is 7/10, ranch is 7/10 not enough fat/creaminess in the ranch. Haven't seen chicken sandwich or Mac n cheese there even though on menu but want to try those. The biscuits are awesome ... More awesome some visits vs other visits. First visit 10/10 on biscuits second visit 4/10 soggy undone and third visit 7/10. But flavor wise never tasted such a good biscuit has a sweet drizzle on top. So in summary... Stick with the tenders and biscuits but everything is hit or miss here for some reason. And get some sauces. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with how good this was! The chicken is cooked fresh so if you don't want to wait too long, I would call ahead. I ordered the family meal and it was about a 35 minute wait. Definitely worth it and will be coming back again read more

Easy to miss, hard to forget Gas station fried chicken? Sure why not when this is how KFC had its roots as well. I was not familiar with this chain by I had to look it up after trying it . Serving up cajun Louisiana style chicken the obvious comparison is Popeyes. Having been disappointed with the serve and quality of the cedar location I figured this place was worth a try and I'm glad I did Breading and skin is super crispy and crunchy yet thinner than Popeyes but better seasoned without being too salty. The meat itself was juicy and fall off the bone tender. I did not try any other options such as the tenders, potatoes wedges etc but when I'm in the mood for it friend chicken again I will be back. Great start here . I already am a fan of the gas station but now this just adds to its appeal read more

Honestly I wrote this place off along time ago due to it being inside a gas station (bad buds) read more

The whole reason we went to this place was because of the Yelp! There was nothing left but about six tenders! I mean nothing they were out of the whole menu! They said to call ahead for chicken! The tenders were very spicy and I don't think kids would like them! I don't think we will ever go back! read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - This is it! There is nothing else that you see on the menu! - Comfort Food Near Me - Fresno, California

After reading the Yelp reviews for "Fried Chicken" due to being highly disappointed with what I receive from establishments such as KFC, El Pollo Loco, Popeyes, etc, I decided to try this place. It's quite simple, believe in the rave reviews. The chicken is as good as it gets. AND IT'S IN A GAS STATION OF ALL PLACES! The chicken has a bit of Cajun spice to them. That comes default. It's not salty as hell like other places. The breading on the chicken is crunchy and fresh. For 16 pieces of mixed chicken pieces, it came out to about $20. Not too bad considering the alternative. Everyone. Try this place. It's a local mom and pop place. Support your local businesses such as this that cater to quality. We need more places like this instead of franchises. read more

Quick and easy and fast service! The two young men who helped me with order were SOOO SOOO NICE AND PATIENT! My first time here so I wasn't familiar with choices but I DID NOT GET THE ATTITUDE what I did get was a resounding NO PROBLEM MAAM ... SURE I CAN GET YOU THAT... very refreshing to be valued! I saw on YELP and damnit YELP CAME THROUGH!!! I tell you what! fellas y'all knocked it out the park with Crispyyyyy non greasy food for more than reasonable prices plus Excellent A+ service read more

I went here today. I had a fried chicken craving. I like Popeye's but it is hit or miss on quality and Kfc is ok but way over priced. So I read the reviews and decided to try it. I am glad I did. It was really good. Crispy and chicken was spicy and juicy. $5.60 for 3 pcs mixed with fries is a good deal. Will be back. read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - 3 pcs and fries. Minus one piece because I already ate it. LOL - Comfort Food Near Me - Fresno, California

Just finally tried this place and am very impressed!!! The chicken tenders are crazy juicy on the inside and perfectly crisp outside. Not too salty breading and the special sauce is better than chic-fil-a's which i love. Should have grabbed more. Those honey biscuits though!!! Omg HEAVEN would eat every day if i could. Can't wait to try the bone in chicken. Definitely give this a go! Delicious!!! read more

Seriously legit fried chicken I'm giving it a 5 star for the fact that I have not found another place in Fresno that rivals to their chicken. Rudy's chicken man is good as well but This place the fried chicken skin is always crunchy and the meat is moist, so good. read more

Chicken made at a gas station who would of thought! Saw the yelp review as I searched chicken in my area and decided to give it a try. Startled that it was actually pretty good. Outer coating was flavorful with a very slight hint of spice heat and was amply crispy. The chicken meat was soft and tender. Chicken pieces are smaller than average. Only problem is that they do not fry large quantities so the 25 piece option was not available, maybe since we came after 6pm. They have other fried options like chicken tenders and shrimp. Combo features biscuits, fries or mashed potatoes. read more

Surprisingly good and very crispy. It didnt have to much flower . It was a crunchy and not greasy

Pretty good chicken! Good crispy coat on the outside of the chicken and the inside is perfectly tender. I'd have to admit, this chicken lives up to the standards even tho it's sold at a gas station. Don't let the location fool you. It's worth a try! read more

Good chicken. Really good fried chicken. I will definitely order again. It's connected to a gas station so the parking is not ideal but it's worth it. read more

Maybe not the greatest place to eat your chicken, but great flavor and juicy. Always served very hot!

Delicious crispy juicy made fresh to order. Great Service and fast delivery. Im very picky, the Mac 'n cheese was flavorful and the chicken was on point! The Biscuits slap too read more

It feels weird giving gas station fried chicken a five star review but dammit, the chicken is that GOOD! I read the one other review of the place and was persuaded to give it a try on a day that I was craving fried chicken something fierce. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and put on a fresh pair of plastic food handling gloves when I began my order. The chicken is unbelievably delicious! The texture is sooo much better than KFC in terms of crispiness without chewing through a thick layer of fried batter. The flavor has that southern spice with a little heat/kick. The quality is that of something homemade, not fast food fart factory. My wife thought I was nuts for getting fried chicken from a gas station (I was a little nervous about I'll admit) but it turned out to be well worth the risk. I didn't suffer any bathroom related trauma and now I have my new go-to place for fried chicken in fresno. read more
