Where would we be today without fried chicken?

Fortunately, back in 1952, a man named W.O. Giles started the Chesters business, originally frying donuts and later chicken, with his patented fryers. His innovations in equipment paved new paths for todays Quick Service Restaurant business.

1965 brought Chester the Chick to lifewith his cowboy hat, bandana, spurs, and his gun and holster, Chester was one cool chick. A couple of years later, the company became incorporated as Giles Enterprises, and they began manufacturing frying equipment. Adding marinades, batter and breading products to the line, the brand achieved its world famous signature taste and became known as Chester Fried in 1974. The secret family recipe and the process of double breading each piece of chicken to ensure a crispy outside and a tender, moist inside, is what has given Chesters its consistent success.

Additionally, Giles Enterprises patented a ventless frying technology, greatly expanding the brands growth.
