Chaco Chicken Shorts
Description: Chaco Chicken is the fictional poultry producer from "Our Town," the twenty-fourth episode of the second season of The X-Files that aired May 12, 1995. The episode finds special agents Mulder and Scully in Dudley, Arkansas, as they investigate a missing poultry inspector. The case takes a twist when another poultry worker is shot after she goes insane, leading Mulder to believe that certain townspeople are cannibals. The idea for this 'Monster-of-the-Week' episode came about while the writer was researching the Ancestral Puebloans for the second-season finale. He learned that archaeologists had discovered boiled human bones in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, leading him to use "Chaco" as the name of the chicken plant, and it's proprietor.
