The 17-year-old came out best in a disjointed session, which was red flagged twice due to cars spinning off. Running resumed for the final time with just six minutes remaining and Chilton found some clear air to post a time over four tenths of a second quicker than anyone else.
"I knew I had to find some clear space," he said. "It's so important to get clear laps in, especially in these conditions, and I was first out of the pits after the red flag which made it so much easier."
Atte Mustonen will start alongside Chilton on the front row, ahead of Carlin team-mates Jaime Alguersuari and Sam Abay.
Fortec team-mates Sebastian Hohenthal and Marcus Ericsson sandwich Walter Grubmuller in fifth and seventh places, ahead of Andy Meyrick, who returned to the head of the National Class with eighth overall.
Three of this season's race winners are at the bottom of the top 10, with Oliver Turvey and Brendon Hartley lining up ahead of championship leader Sergio Perez, who will start 11th - three places higher than the 14th spot he won from twice at Monza last weekend.
