# Sandor Clegane Loves Chicken Sandor Clegane Loves Chicken is a fan meme built around the Game of Thrones character The Hound and his blood-soaked demand for tavern chicken in the Season 4 premiere. The scene, aired April 6, 2014, spawned a run of image macros, fan art and shitposts pairing Rory McCann's growling knight with poultry punchlines. ## Origin The meme traces to the closing scene of "Two Swords," the Season 4 premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones, which first aired on April 6, 2014[1]. In the sequence, Sandor and Arya Stark stop at a roadside inn where Sandor demands roast chicken from a Lannister soldier, escalating into a brawl that ends with him killing the men at the table[1]. The exchange became instantly quotable, including the line about eating "every fucking chicken in this room," and clips of the fight circulated on YouTube shortly after broadcast[4]. The episode drew 6.64 million viewers on its debut, breaking Game of Thrones' own ratings records and giving HBO its best numbers for a series episode since the finale of The Sopranos[2]. That viewership pushed the chicken exchange in front of a huge audience at once, which is why fan artists and image macro makers pounced on it that same week[3]. - **Platform:** HBO broadcast (source scene) / Tumblr and Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview Sandor Clegane Loves Chicken collects image macros, screenshots and fan art that riff on The Hound's obsession with poultry in a single tavern scene from Game of Thrones[1]. The gag works because Sandor is otherwise a grim, scarred killer, so pairing him with roast chicken cravings gives fans an easy joke about his soft spot for food while he threatens to murder everyone in the room[3]. Common formats include the caption "Bring me one of those chickens" laid over a still of Rory McCann glaring across a table, cartoon fan art of Sandor cradling chickens like pets, and reaction images used whenever a Game of Thrones character mentions food[3]. The joke stays legible because the source line is short, quotable and features the character's signature profanity from the tavern showdown[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Sandor Clegane Loves Chicken?
