Chicken is a tiny unincorporated village in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska.

[2] A community founded on gold mining, it is one of the few surviving gold-rush towns in Alaska.

On September 7, 2021, Jack in the Box released an ad campaign claiming to have purchased the town for 10,000 Cluck Chicken Sandwiches and a commemorative hat.

[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 115.4 square miles (299 km2), all of it land.

Among them, four days of extreme low temperature were recorded, namely January 1, 2000, February 7–8, 2008, and December 31, 1999.

Chicken’s extreme high temperature was recorded for two days, both occurred on July 4 and 7, 1998.

Populations available for Chicken from 2000 onward include, therefore, residents of the entire CDP and not just the village proper.
