The Drunken Chicken has been voted “Best Fried Chicken” and “Best Chicken and Waffles” by the Arizona Daily Star, but there’s much more going on inside the restaurant on 4th Ave. An all scratch-kitchen, for starters, is one of those things.
A prime example of the originality on the menu are “The Balls” and its deep-fried combination of pepper jack cheese, jalapeño, mashed potato, bacon, and panko. From the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich that’s served on a hoagie roll, to the gooey Bacon and Jalepeño Mac that’s spilling over the edge of the bowl, everything’s made from scratch with local ingredients.
Plus, as long as it’s before midnight, you can order anything off the menu and have it brought over to Mr. Heads Art Gallery & Bar while you’re having a drink.
The Drunken Chicken is located at 429 N. 4th Ave. For more information on Drunken Chicken’s menu, hours, and more, visit thedrunkenchickenaz.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
