Said Flav about his chicken, "The taste will blow up your taste buds. You'll have fireworks in there!"
Responding to criticism of Flav for selling fried chicken to a largely African-American clientele, Chuck D. said via Twitter, "He does groundbreaking shit in South Africa, etc tour 76 countries and press rather pay attention to asking me about Flavs chicken WTF?
