**BREAKING: FOWL PLAY ERUPTS AT BUFFALO WILD WINGS IN IOWA**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Des Moines, Iowa, clucking with laughter, a loose chicken was rescued from the depths of a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant on Tuesday evening.
According to eyewitnesses, the feathered fugitive, identified as “Cluck Norris” by staff, had been evading capture for over an hour, flapping its wings and squawking loudly as it dodged waitresses and bewildered patrons.
“It was like something out of a cartoon,” said Emily Wilson, a diner who witnessed the chaos. “I was just trying to enjoy my boneless wings when suddenly, a chicken comes barreling out of the kitchen, pecking at people’s feet and sending nachos flying.”
The chicken, estimated to be around 3-4 pounds of pure, unadulterated poultry, was said to have originated from a local farm that supplies meat to the restaurant. Authorities speculate that the bird may have been smuggled into the establishment by a disgruntled employee seeking revenge.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Buffalo Wild Wings manager, Dave Thompson. “We’re just glad no one was seriously hurt… except for maybe the chicken’s dignity.”
After a tense standoff, Iowa’s Finest SWAT team was called in to assist with the situation. Armed with an arsenal of bread and snacks, the team carefully coaxed Cluck Norris into a specially designed avian carrier.
“It was a delicate operation, let me tell you,” said SWAT team leader, Captain Jameson. “We didn’t want to startle the chicken and cause a fowl emergency.”
The chicken, now safely in the care of local animal control, has been named “Buffalo Bill” and is expected to make a full recovery.
As for Buffalo Wild Wings, the restaurant has announced plans to implement new chicken-proofing measures, including the installation of chicken-deterrent balloons and a “no-fowl” policy.
In related news, sales of chicken nuggets have skyrocketed in Des Moines, and local farmers are reporting a surge in demand for – you guessed it – chickens.
