NEW YORK — Yankee Stadium’s newest star attraction won’t impact the team’s wins or losses this season, but that hasn’t stopped fans from flocking to The Bronx to see (and taste) the viral sensation.

Jose Villeneuve-Saez, 30, said the lines for Yankee Stadium’s mini dessert “chicken” bucket — ice creams shaped like chicken drumsticks covered with candied cornflakes and white chocolate and filled with a chocolate-covered pretzel center — were “outrageously long” before Friday’s home opener. The concession line for the bucket of “chicken” was the longest he’d seen since the Yankees debuted the “99 burger,” in honor of Aaron Judge, in 2023.

“It really looks and feels like a drumstick,” Villeneuve-Saez said. “I would not have known the difference had I been oblivious to the release of it.”

The Yankees are charging $10.99 for the mini “chicken” bucket, which comes with two drumsticks.

At the start of their six-game homestand against the Miami Marlins and the Athletics, the Yankees believed they had enough inventory to last the entirety of it, but the club was wiped out of the crispy confection before the start of Saturday’s game. If fans were hoping to get a bucket at Tuesday’s game, they’ll be out of luck.

“Given how well-received the item was on media day, interest from fans was tremendous, and we sold out of the item by the first inning of Saturday’s game,” Yankees senior director of communications Michael Margolis said in an email.

The Athletic rated the mini-dessert “chicken” bucket as Yankee Stadium’s best new concession item, after tasting almost the entirety of its newest offerings. The chicken drumstick design of the ice cream treats plays off the chicken tender bucket, a concession staple at Yankee Stadium.

YES Network play-by-play broadcaster Michael Kay is a notoriously picky eater. One of the things on his food list is chicken tenders. He has a dedicated Instagram account where he ranks the chicken tenders at all MLB stadiums. The dessert chicken received the first “10” in the account’s history.

“It can’t be better,” Kay said in his video. “That’s why it’s sold out.”

Madyson Eisen, 22, of New York, said she bought the ice cream about an hour before Friday’s home opener and waited in line for about 25 minutes. She believed it was time well spent.

“It was super delicious,” Eisen said. “I thought it was super light and definitely worth the hype. The cornflakes were really good, and the right kind of crunchy. The ice cream was super soft and tasty, and the inside was the perfect addition. The price wasn’t bad at all either.”

Lucia DiEmidio, 33, of New York, said she was able to get the drumsticks around the third inning on Opening Day. If she had waited any longer, she would have missed out.

“I was hearing whispers from other fans that they were sold out already and the line I was on was extremely long, but I stayed on it,” DiEmidio said. “Once I got up there, I saw them in a mini freezer, and there were only about four mini buckets left. I didn’t think I would be able to get one because everyone (in) line was talking about it. I was able to get the last one in the freezer. I ran back to my seat, which was about a minute walk, and it wasn’t melted, which was nice.

“I absolutely loved it. The crunch with the little bit of chocolate was great. I ate both in record time. It was a little messy after you bite into it a couple of times, but I didn’t mind. And the bucket is super cute. My staple dessert when I go to Yankee Stadium now.”

For those who missed out on the initial batch of dessert chicken, the Yankees said they’ll post on their dedicated food site once they’re restocked.
