What it does
Whenever a 6 is rolled on a six-sided die, put a +1/+1 counter on each Bird. (You may roll dice only when instructed to.)
Tap an untapped Bird you control: Roll a six-sided die. (Like now.)
During the Chicken Revolution, the king managed to keep his head while the others—well, just ran around.

Where it came from
Chicken à la King was released in 2020 as part of the Unsanctioned set, a standalone box set for the Magic: The Gathering card game designed specifically for casual, 'un-sanctioned' play. The set was curated by Wizards of the Coast to bring back the humorous, meta-fictional tone of previous 'Un' sets like Unglued and Unhinged, focusing on gameplay mechanics that break traditional rules or rely on physical actions outside the game state.
The card features artwork by Mike Burns, who captured the absurd, culinary-themed aesthetic common to the set's playful spirit. Mechanically, it functions as a 'lord'—a creature that provides a power and toughness boost to other cards of the same type, in this case, Chickens. While the card is not legal in official tournament formats, it remains a favorite among casual collectors for its whimsical illustration and its role in the lighthearted tribal synergy unique to the Unsanctioned product line.
