There have been a lot of questions in the news lately about emotional support animals being allowed on flights. Should they be limited to certain breeds? Should they be certified?

But no one has stopped to ask: Should they be deep fried?

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has answered anyway, and now you can pick up an “Emotional Support Chicken” box if you happen to be flying this holiday season via Terminal C at Philadelphia International Airport.

The brand admits it’s poking some fun at the recent news around emotional support animals, which some see as an anxiety-reducing boon while others see as taking advantage of a loophole to bring just about any animal on board an airplane without transporting them through the official channels.
