The background of Chicken Boy Day

Amy Inouye and Chicken Boy’s relationship is a modern love story. Approximately forty years ago, when the artist moved to Los Angeles, one of the first items she saw was the statue of Chicken Boy. The mascot for a quick food restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles was designed and named after the Chicken Boy Restaurant of the 1960s. The iconic figure remained at the restaurant until the death of the proprietor in 1984. When Inouye inquired about the statue, the restaurant’s proprietors told her she could have it, so she did.

After approximately twenty years of storage, Inouye decided to display Chicken Boy on the roof of her art studio in Highland Park. The local community contributed to Chicken Boy’s restoration. Inouye installed Chicken Boy in her studio in part to supplement the catalogue of chicken-related novelty products she had amassed over the years and made available for purchase. These artefacts are on display for all Chicken Boy fans at a miniature museum.

poultry Boy’s fibreglass statue is 22 feet tall and depicts him holding a poultry head and a bucket of chicken. He is jokingly referred to as the “Statue of Liberty of Los Angeles,” and he is a must-see along Route 66.
