Ernie The Giant Chicken is an actual Giant Chicken with whom Peter has had a long history of violence. He often shows up in the middle of a scene and interrupts Peter and the two engage in a long, drawn out fight won by Peter, who then returns to the scene battered and bruised and picks up where he left off, not knowing that Ernie, seemingly dead, awakens and gets up after Peter leaves, foreshadowing another future fight.

[edit] Story
[edit] In Da Boom
Peter no longer accepts coupons from any chickens after "the incident" with this one. During a flashback in the episode "Da Boom," the Chicken gave him a coupon, but the coupon was expired. Peter was therefore provoked to attack him. A prolonged fistfight ensued, taking the two combatants all over a downtown metropolis. It appeared that Peter had ultimately defeated the Chicken, but he was not actually dead, as he opens his eye.
[edit] In Blind Ambition
He returned to assault Peter when he was defending Quagmire in "Blind Ambition". But again, he was not actually dead, despite his being chopped up by an airplane's propeller, spoofing the scene from Indiana Jones; his leg is shown moving.
[edit] In Family Guy:The Video Game
In Peter's storyline, he is hit on the head numorous times and hallucinates that Mr. Belvedere has kidnapped his family and wants him dead. He sets out to find Mr. Belvedere and his family. He is eventually told by Lois that Mr. Belvedere isnt real. In the final level, the Chicken appears disguised as Mr. Belvedere and is the final boss, which is fought at the Drunken Clam and serveral other stages until the two land in the top floor of a skyscraper where there are explosives and cops tied to chairs (apparently part of the Chicken's plan). Peter defeats him and jumps out of the skyscraper just as the bomb explodes (convieniently landing on Meg). Reunited with the family, he sees that the Mr. Belvedere image he saw floating up in the sky throughout the game was in fact real, being projected on top of a building by Mayor West. The Chicken lands on the building West is on, gets up, and then walks away.
[edit] In No Chris Left Behind
He returned for another fight with Peter in "No Chris Left Behind". After a reunion, Peter and the Chicken admit to each other that they no longer remember what they are fighting about. To make up, Peter has dinner with The Chicken and his wife at a fancy restaurant. It was then revealed that the Chicken's name is Ernie, and he is married to another chicken named Nicole. Peter and Ernie seemed to have resolved their differences, but the peace was fleeting; another fight ensues when both of them insist on footing the bill. Despite having his brains bashed in by a frying pot he was not actually dead, as he again opens his eye.
[edit] In Meet the Quagmires
Ernie made a cameo appearance in "Meet the Quagmires" when he got punched by Peter Griffin at the Country Club by accident while Peter was dancing; Peter convinces Death to send him back in time and eventually fixes his mistakes while in the past when Lois Pewtersmidt accepts to marry him instead of Quagmire. Peter then dances with her and accidentally punches Ernie, angering him, but he is stopped by his friend, who says "Whoa whoa take it easy big guy! You'll probably never even see him again". This may explain why Ernie gave Peter the bad coupon in the first place.
[edit] In Something, Something, Something Dark Side
Ernie will play the part of Boba Fett in the Family Guy parody of The Empire Strikes Back, yet to be released. This would make sense, as since Peter plays the role of Han Solo and Fett freezes him in carbonite, thus possibly marking Ernie's first victory against Peter (in this case, Fett's first victory against Han).
