Enter The Chicken is an album by guitarist Buckethead, his 14th solo studio album (excluding "Giant Robot (Demo Tape)", "Bucketheadland Blueprints", and "KFC Skin Piles"). It was released on October 25, 2005 by Serj Tankian's label Serjical Strike. It has 11 songs, two of which are less than 20 seconds long. It contains appearances from such artists as Saul Williams, Maximum Bob, Efrem Schulz and Serj Tankian.

The instrumental "Nottingham Lace" (previously released online on http://www.bucketheadland.com) closes the album, and is often considered to be one of Buckethead's most well-made compositions.[citation needed]

A re-issue of this album was released on April 8 of 2008 with an additional song called "Shen Chi".[1]
