Yankees' viral 'fried chicken' dessert a major hit with fans, Michael Kay

NEW YORK — Yankee Stadium’s newest star attraction won’t impact the team’s wins or losses this season, but that hasn’t stopped fans from flocking to The Bronx to see (and taste) the viral sensation.Jose Villeneuve-Saez, 30, said the lines for Yankee Stadium’s mini dessert “chicken” bucket — ice creams shaped like chicken drumsticks covered with candied cornflakes and white chocolate and filled with a chocolate-covered pretzel center — were “outrageously long” before Friday’s home opener. The concession line for the bucket of “chicken” was the longest he’d seen since the Yankees debuted the “99 burger,” in honor of Aaron Judge, in 2023.Advertisement
