Production

[edit]

The story was written by the showrunner, Bob Camp together with Jim Gomez, and differed from the usual "gag reels" stories of the Games Animation studio.[2] Camp and Gomez chose to focus on characters rather than gags in I Love Chicken with the main themes being Ren's selfishness and self-pity vs. Stimpy's devotion and low intelligence..[2]

Reception

[edit]

The American critic Thad Komorowski rated the episode three stars out of five and described I Love Chicken as one of the best stories of season four.[3]
