Leeroy's Updated Fried Chicken Stand in WoW's 20th Anniversary
Returning from WoW's 15th Anniversary, famed adventurer Leeroy Jenkins has updated his fried chicken stand with a new menu item in Patch 11.0.5!
As with other attractions, Leeroy's stand is visited by other famous characters, including Big Kinook and Master Mathias Shaw. who have a few words of their own to share during the festivities.
Leeroy Jekins says: But my chicken is flash fried, that is the opposite of patience.
Big Kinook says: It is good chicken. I suppose that means there are a lot of ways to cook. For example...
Leeroy Jekins says: Leerooooy! Jeeeeeekins!
Big Kinook says: Yes, that.
Players may have forgotten that the stand isn't actually new, having first opened inside the Caverns of Time during WoW 15th Anniversary in 2019. Also featuring Leeroy's pet/mascot, Mr. Clucker, the stand sold only Leeroy's Spicy Fried Chicken and didn't seem to get quite as many visitors.
In the upcoming 20th Anniversary, the stall has received a few updates and been relocated alongside other new attractions outside the caverns, now also offering Jenkins' No Nonsense Fried Chicken for the less spice inclined. However, Mr. Clucker is nowhere to be found, which could have some unintentionally dark connotations given Leeroy's updated menu...
«Step right up chums, and get the best fried chicken you've ever tasted!»
Leeroy Jenkins was cemented in history 19 years ago with the release of the now famous video in which the the player/character charged headlong into the Upper Blackrock Spire rookery, ruining his guild's carefully laid plans, responding to their indignation with a simple «at least I have chicken.» Quickly spreading far beyond WoW, the meme has made its way into
Prompting repeat appearances in following expansions, Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and even expanding into popular culture beyond World of Warcraft, including appearances in hit shows such as Jeopardy! and How I Met Your Mother.
