"In an article by Southern Living, Huck's was almost immediately named as a prime spot for tasty chicken. The roadside snack is Goldilocks-esque: not too spicy, not too salty and with a soft interior and a crisp exterior. "I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by their tasty chicken and will be eating it again!" revealed blogger Marty Wombacher of Meanwhile, Back in Peoria. His colorful review noted its value for money, juicy meat, and crunchy breading - emphasizing the tastiness of Butch's dipping sauce."
"There's a long list of gas station hot foods to avoid at all costs, but it's safe to say Huck's fried chicken isn't among them. After nearly 50 years of frying, the fact that its recipe remains unchanged speaks volumes. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, though? The South has long been on a roll; even KFC got its start in a gas station there. Just don't expect restaurant service - this is a gas station chain, after all."
Huck's convenience stores serve fried chicken praised for balanced seasoning, soft interior, and crisp exterior, attracting positive customer reviews. Reviewers highlight juicy meat, crunchy breading, and flavorful dipping sauce, with spicy tenders receiving particular praise. The recipe has remained largely unchanged for nearly 50 years, contributing to consistent quality across locations. Huck's originated as supermarkets, opening its first convenience store in Grayville, Illinois in 1974, and now operates about 130 stations across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. Service follows a gas-station model rather than full restaurant service, emphasizing value and convenience.
