I dont really care for their chicken butt. But guess what? Hahaha see what I did there. Grow a chicken pair and wear feathered underwear. Cuz it got crazy chickens there so try not to stare and eat there if you dare. But I don't really care for the crazy chicken find me chicken at KFC or Popeyes Popeyes I believe has the most expensive Chicken on the planet. Fun fact
