IDs must be unique in your document, meaning that you shouldn't do this:
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" id="chk[]" value="Apples" />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" id="chk[]" value="Bananas" />
Instead, drop the ID, and then select them by name, or by a containing element:
<fieldset id="checkArray">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="Apples" />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="Bananas" />
</fieldset>
And now the jQuery:
var atLeastOneIsChecked = $('#checkArray:checkbox:checked').length > 0;
//there should be no space between identifier and selector
// or, without the container:
var atLeastOneIsChecked = $('input[name="chk[]"]:checked').length > 0;
