Because the chicken-feed is always fresher on the other side. But even if the chicken crossed the road, who’s to say that another escaped chicken didn’t trip the other in a lowly attempt to get the good food first? I know that’s what I’d do. Who says you have to play fair? The food is mine!

Chicken to itself: “Bakawk” *pecks at the roadside*

@steamykitchen: spot on chef answers. Bourdain definitely would have said that.

My favorite variant of this joke comes from Happy Texas:
[main characters are on a chain gang picking up trash by the roadside]
“Hey [character's name I forgot], why did the armadillo cross the road?”
“I dunno. Why?”
“He didn’t. See?” *Holds up dead armadillo*

Franz Kafka: Because it is more free as a chicken than it was in its work-afflicted life as a human, and now has the choice to cross the road.

Einstein really did say, “Did the chicken cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?”

Benito Mussolini - All for the chicken… The road for all!

Francisco Franco - This is the chicken’s meat. There are no roads without chicken meat or crosswalks in España.

Kim Jung Il - The chicken crossed the road to get to South Korea, but was shot. Therefore, chicken dinner for my Japanese sex-slave…

Adolf Hitler - The chicken crossed the road because there was a white rooster at the other side, it’s magnificent blonde comb swaying in the mighty Germanic winds. According to the will of the Aryan order of poultry, they will lay eggs that are superior to that of the filthy brown chickens, who were not genetically capable of crossing the autostrata in the first place… and I am unshakable in that.

Hugo Chavez - How much petroleum did the chicken use to get across the road? None. See? The U.S. are just greedy, decadent Capitalists. Excuse me while my cronies and I count our billions…

The chicken it’s self - “Because it was there…”

Again with the Ron Paul conspiracies by not including him in this list.

Ron Paul: Frankly it’s none of my business if the chicken crosses the road. The Constitution doesn’t give me any power to interfere with the rights of the chicken so this is all moot! What’s really important is the destabilization of the dollar against the value of chickens!

I’ve got more…from my food blog, SteamyKitchen.com, submitted by readers:

Anthony Bourdain: “To get away from Rachael Ray.”

Alton Brown: That’s not a chicken, it’s a domesticated fowl likely descended from the wild Indian and southeast Asian Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and the related Grey Junglefowl (G. sonneratii).

Rachel Ray: “To go to KFC cause thats the only way you’re gonna get a cooked bird in 30 minutes or less!

Paula Deen: “Cause that’s where the buttah and sugah is y’all!”

Mario Batali: “because that is the tradition of our Italian ancestors.”

Sandra Lee: “to gather items for this fabulous tablescape.”

Gordon Ramsay: “Why did the chicken cross the road? I don’t f*^$ing give a s#%^ why the chicken crossed the damn road. Now p*ss off.”

Jack LaLanne: “It’s how you can tell it’s fresh. Within a chicken is the secret to eternal youth and vitality. With my Power Juicer, all you have to do is juice the whole chicken, using the beak, claws, feathers and all to extract the maximum nutritional value.”

Ryan Seacrest: We’ll find out why the chicken crossed the road…..after the break.

Al Roker: The chicken wanted to see what it was like in YOUR neck of the woods.

Padma Lakshmi: Chicken, please pack your knives and go to the other side of the road.

Yoda: Always in motion, the chicken is.
Darth Vader: No, Luke, I am your chicken; cross the road. You do not know the power of the dark… meat
