Enter the Chicken is the fourteenth studio album by musician Buckethead. The album was released on October 25, 2005 by Serj Tankian's label Serjical Strike. It has 11 songs, two of which are less than twenty seconds long. It contains appearances from such artists as Saul Williams, Maximum Bob, Efrem Schulz and Serj Tankian.

The album includes the song "We Are One", which is one of the few music videos he has ever made. The song also appears on the horror series soundtrack Masters of Horror and also in one episode. "Three Fingers" also appears on the soundtrack of the horror movie Saw II. The last song from the album, the instrumental piece "Nottingham Lace" (previously released on Buckethead's official website) closes the album, and is one of Buckethead's most popular pieces, often played in concerts along with "Jordan" known from the game Guitar Hero II and "Soothsayer (Dedicated to Aunt Suzie)" from the album Crime Slunk Scene.

Buckethead promoted the album release with his "Disney World to Disney Land Tour" in October and November 2005.

A re-issue of this album was released on April 8, 2008 with an additional song called "Shen Chi". The bonus track refers to a type of energy in Feng Shui.

The track "Waiting Hare" is often mislabeled as "Waiting Here", even though the lyrics to the song clearly say "waiting here".

According to Buckethead, Serj Tankian came up with the concept of different guest vocalists and friends, which is the central theme of the album. Hence the name "Buckethead and Friends"

Artwork for the album was done by long-time Buckethead collaborateur Bryan Theiss (aka Frankenseuss). The cover of the reissue is identical to the original, save for some colour changes. The booklet of the reissue of the album contained several mistakes and errors. In the liner notes for almost all the songs, except the first page, the dash that separated the title of the song from its length is either replaced with a rectangle, a character usually representing a character that could not be recognized by the computer in a document, or is altogether missing. Also, the notes are crooked on its back. Notes for the song "The Hand" reveal Maximum Bob's real name to be "Robert Barnum", making this the only release to date (as of February 2009) that uses his real name.
