Get Through That Flight With Popeye’s Emotional Support Chicken

Need the perfect companion to take the edge off of flying? Understood, with all the speed, turbulence and fear of potentially crashing to earth… nothing a little fried chicken can’t help.

Enter Popeye’s Emotional Support Chicken. Grab a box of your supportive new partner, in all its crunchy glory, and take on that flight like a champ.

Emotional Support Chicken is only available for a limited time in Terminal C of Philadelphia International Airport. Flyers in other parts of the country will have to fry your own chicken parts and hope that they can get past security.

KFC Released An Employee Training Video That’s Part Educational, Part Terrifying

KFC, never one to shy away from being completely bizarre, has released a virtual-reality training video… and we’re terrified.

The Hard Way challenges the trainee to create the perfect fried chicken in order to escape a locked room — all while taking instruction from a creepier-than-usual Colonel Sanders voice.

Although it’s marketed as a “training game,” The Hard Way has the look and feel of a horror movie. And, there are killer robots involved. At least they appear “killer.” Watch and decide for yourself.

There’s Fried Chicken Beer Now

Why order beer and fried chicken separately, when they can both be enjoyed from one delicious can?

Fried Fried Chicken Chicken is the one-stop shopping that we’ve been waiting for. Brought to us by The Veil Brewing and Evil Twin, the beer uses actual fried chicken in the brewing process.

Although the beer only uses a small amount of the crispy bird, just 0.4% of the mash bill, it’s enough to make this one of the most unique beers out there.

Taco Bell Already Cancelled Their Fried Chicken-Shelled Taco, So Here’s A Giant One Instead

giant-chicken-chalupa

Taco Bell recently made some waves in the fast food pond with the announcement of their Naked Chicken Chalupa. However, the fried chicken shell was not meant to be, as Taco Bell has already announced that the culinary monstrosity’s limited run is now over.

Thankfully, Hellthy Junk Food knows that when a polarizing fast food item is abruptly taken away, it should be replaced tenfold. Enter, their Giant Naked Chicken Chalupa. It takes the concept of a shell made from chicken, only it’s made big enough to fill that giant taco-shaped void in our lives.

How big is it, you ask? It’s two chicken breasts fused together and fried, to create a 3,250-calorie meal that requires two hands to eat. See the process, along with a few failed attempts, below.
