From the moment I started watching The Walking Dead, I began planning how I would survive a zombie apocalypse. I would first find a place I could use as a fortress to live in. Next, I’d find a car, so I would be able to move around faster and carry supplies. I started thinking about what I would do if I was being chased by a horde of zombies. Trying to kill all of them would be pointless and a waste of ammo. If there was someone with me who annoyed me, tripping them would be an option.

After a long day of thinking I came up with it: human chicken-making the chicken resemble human flesh. As I’m being chased by the horde, I would throw the chicken and have them fight for it. This won’t stop them from coming after me, but it will buy me some time.

Zombie Chicken

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

After you wash and dry each chicken breast, pound them into quarter-inch thickness.

Cut each chicken breast into two pieces and place on the greased baking pan. Cover the chicken with one tablespoon of barbecue sauce and place pan in the oven.

After 7 minutes, turn the chicken over and coat the bottom side with a tablespoon of barbecue sauce. Let the chicken bake for an additional 8 minutes.

Add the remaining barbecue sauce and bake for another 5 minutes. Let the chicken cool off for a few minutes add more barbecue sauce to make it resemble a bloody chicken.

When the zombie apocalypse comes, this chicken can save lives without having to trip someone. Also, when I am in a hurry I will have something to eat.

Remember this chicken recipe when the zombie apocalypse arrives.
