The Chunky Chicken was a chicken monster who served as the main antagonist of the episode "Big Sisters."
History
Rita Repulsa finds a chest containing the legendary Morphin Masters' Power Eggs and desires to use them to somehow destroy the Power Rangers. However, a forcefield prevents her from getting to them as it needs purehearted children to access.
Deciding to kidnap Kimberly and Trini's charge Maria, the Chunky Chicken is created by Finster, although why he was chosen in particular is not clear. When Maria is kidnapped by the Putty Patrol, the Chunky Chicken forces her to open the chest and escorts Goldar, Squatt and Baboo as they bring the Power Eggs back to the Moon Palace. When the Rangers arrive to save Maria, the monster fights them after they lose the Power Eggs and even manages to deflect Kimberly's Power Bow arrows but is beaten down by Trini.
He then goes to the warehouse district with Maria held captive and drops her when the Megazord arrives, but she is saved and taken to safety in the RadBug.
Enraged, Rita enlarges the Chunky Chicken in a fit of rage with the monster using its dimensional powers to overwhelm the Rangers. However, they punch it down and destroy the Chunky Chicken with the Power Sword which bowls him over and he explodes.
