Trigger the Chicken King encounter and complete the hidden Hail thee, King Nugget! achievement.
Defeat ordinary chickens across your playthrough until the Chicken King spawns to avenge them. Community reports consistently place the trigger at about 50 kills; they do not need to happen in one session.

Use an area where ordinary chickens respawn and where you have room to handle a larger encounter.
The reported count is cumulative, so clear chickens as you pass instead of forcing every defeat into one visit.
Players in the Steam discussion reported the king appearing at about 50. Treat this as a community-observed trigger rather than an on-screen counter.
When the larger named enemy appears, finish the encounter to unlock Hail thee, King Nugget!
Failure branch
There is no visible kill counter. Continue across respawns and avoid assuming 20 defeats are enough; reports cluster closer to 50. The count appears to persist across ordinary play rather than requiring one uninterrupted session.
Completion signal
The Steam achievement notification is the clear completion signal after defeating the Chicken King. Community reports describe one king encounter per game, so finish the fight when it appears.
