This North Alabama Style Pulled Chicken BBQ is so easy to make, I had plenty of time to search for answers to this age-old question. While the future of our country is no joking matter, whatever side of the political divide you stand, I believe we could all use a little humor right now. So why did the chicken really cross the road? To get into my belly of course!
RONALD REAGAN: What chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken? Could you define the word "chicken", please?
DONALD TRUMP: Once we build this great wall, no more chickens will ever cross the road. The biggest wall – believe me we have the best people working on it. The best people. People tell me, "Donald, your wall will be the greatest wall." And the chickens will pay for this wall. Believe me, folks.
BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs. Period.
JOE BIDEN: Why did the chicken do the...thing in the...you know the rest.
NANCY PELOSI: We must first pass a bill why chickens cross the road before we can begin to understand the bill. Let's pass this bill and lift the fog of controversy.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
AOC: Chickens should not be forced to lay eggs! This is because of corporate greed! Eggs should be able to lay themselves.
HILLARY CLINTON: What difference at this point does it make why the chicken crossed the road?
GEORGE H. BUSH: Read my lips; "No chicken crossed any road."
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.
RICHARD NIXON: People have to know whether or not their President is a Chicken. Well, I'm not a Chicken. I walk for everything I've got.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of Government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.
RALPH NADER: The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and will remain against it.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a Government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.
