NEW ORLEANS – With the New Orleans Pelicans poised to use the NBA’s No. 1 draft pick to select Zion Williamson, one Popeyes location is offering a gigantic chicken tray dubbed the “wingspan box.”

According to The Advocate, it comes with enough fried chicken for a basketball team, in a box that measures 82 inches.

That is six feet, 10 inches, or the “wingspan” (extended arm length) of Williamson himself.

The special box will be filled with 77 boneless wings, 11 servings of fries and 11 biscuits.

It sells for $74.69 and can only be purchased at the Canal Street location in New Orleans.
