Mum says Hunter’s chicken looks just like terrifying film character | UK News

A mum got a fright when she went to serve her family dinner and saw one of the scariest horror movie villains of all time staring back at her.

Chantelle Warrick cooked a Hunter’s chicken dish for her, her husband Steve, and their three children after work – and at first nothing was amiss.

But she ‘nearly peed’ herself when she plated it up and saw what was staring up at her.

The chicken has been likened to Michael Myers from the Halloween films and Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

The cheese stretched over the chicken breast looked scarily like the infamous mask, and there were markings of wide eyes, a nose and a gaping mouth in all the right places.

Leatherface is a character from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, first appearing in the horror film series in 1974 as a member of a family of cannibals with his face masks and a chainsaw.

So not someone you want to see when you’re about to sit down to eat dinner.

But it didn’t stop Steve, who agreed that the face was ‘horrible’, tucking into the dish anyway.

Ms Warrick, who owns a transport business, said she was grateful her three children didn’t spot the terrifying face in the dinner.

She added that despite the fact she found it quite ‘cool’ she hopes that it ‘never happens again’.

Writing on social media on July 19, Ms Warrick shared a photo of the scary-looking chicken dish with the caption: ‘I decided to make hunter’s chicken for my other half and got the shock of my life when it came out looking like Michael Myers from Halloween.

‘When I looked at it I nearly peed myself. I shouted [to my husband] “Steve, Steve, take a look at this!”

‘Initially I thought it looked like Frankenstein but then definitely Michael Myers from Halloween, it was horrible. Steve saw the face and said it looked horrible too. He still ate it though, he didn’t care.

‘Mine looked like a regular hunter’s chicken. It was fine, I enjoyed it a lot. I said to him I thought it was pretty cool as I’d never seen anything like it before.

‘It was quite scary. I’m hoping it never ever happens again. I’ve never seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre so I had no idea [to begin with] but looking at pictures people were posting of Leatherface on my post it’s definitely like him. It’s horrendous.

‘It’s not what you want to see looking back at you from your dinner. My husband ate it, he’s a braver person than I am, that’s for sure. I’m not a massive fan of horror films, I’ve not watched it yet but it’s on my to-watch list.’

The post ended up with over 7,000 likes, comments and shares, with lots of people agreeing the Hunter’s chicken looked scarily like the horrible character.

The dish consists of a chicken breast wrapped in bacon and covered with cheese and bbq sauce. Ms Warrick said she doesn’t make it ‘too often’ but she said her husband ‘loves it’ so she’ll sometimes treat him to it and serve it with chips.

Ms Warrick continued: ‘I stuck it in the oven and that’s how it came out. I didn’t see it straight away. There were others in the dish so I took those out and plated them up.

‘I went to take that one out with my fork and when I went to do it I was like ‘oh my god’ and pulled my fork out, which made the little nose indent.

‘It was 100% worse after the nose. The hair is the bbq sauce, the cheese [makes the] face.

‘Where the eyes are I think it’s where the cheese has melted into the barbeque sauce. The mouth bit must be the bacon coming through.’

While Ms Warrick was convinced she saw Michael Myers in the Hunter’s chicken, others commented saying it was Leatherface.

One person said: ‘That’s some Texas Chainsaw stuff.’

Another took to the comments to add: ‘Holy smokes!! That is horrifying!! Did you still eat it??? Yeah, I am not sleeping tonight. Thank you very much!!!’
