If you haven't heard of #FrozenChook, you're seriously out of the loop. When the planking fad swept the world–and then subsequently petered out–several years ago, I've been holding my breath, waiting for the next idiotic, pointless fad to fill the horrifying void in my life. Well, I dare say I've found it. #LongLiveFrozenChook

"Chook," they chanted. "Chook, chook." And thus, they were chook.

Don't forget to bring a photographer with you on your chook adventures. Don't want to miss a moment of pure chook genius like this.
To do the frozen chook convincingly, it helps if you have method acting experience. Take this man, for instance; he is in a professional setting, but like the real frozen chook, he doesn't break character.
One with the chook. Notice the outward turning of his fingers, used to create a wing-like effect. Bravo, chooker.
Doing the frozen chook on a create. This is a more realist representation than many of the others; one can quite frequently see frozen chooks sitting atop crates in nature.
This is about as dangerous as it gets, folks. In good conscience, I cannot encourage you to pose the frozen chook in front of a KFC, lest they mistake you for the real thing, drag you into the joint, and deep-fry your chook ass.
Seriously, DON'T. Long John Silver's is probably fine though.
Can you spot the frozen chook?
Happy posing, fellow #FrozenChook lovers.
