Strategies
The Chickening serves as one of the best board clears in the game and also serves as one of the best cards to stop a "rush" tactic. Its weak damage however, falls off later where the opposing Plant Hero has access to cards that can survive The Chickening's damage.

Use it like you would use Sour Grapes, but as a trick and the fact it deals more damage. You could also use this to defeat plants in the way of your Anti-Hero zombies so they can get direct hits on the opposing hero. If you combine this with the Zombot Sharktronic Sub, you can wipe out all plants in one turn, just by playing this trick while the Zombot Sharktronic Sub is alive. Another option - you could simply use this to defend yourself from plants with low health and high strength, but you could also save it for a later use.

Trivia

 * Its name may be a reference to the 2008 horror movie "The Happening," a horror film about plants attacking humanity by spraying a deadly mist.
 * However, the name is also possibly a reference to dialogue of a Wild West level, which was a Locked and Loaded before the 1.7 version. In the dialogue, Penny says that the day the level took place on will be remembered as "The Great Chickening of 1850."
 * After the 1.2.11 update, there are now 3 chickens on the icon.
