To prove their courage, they must survive five minutes in a room with one of these.
Wu's chicken is Wu's pet chicken that he obtained at some point after the Oni's invasion to keep the ninja from getting out of shape.

History
Prior to Season 11
At some point, Wu caught a chicken around the monastery upon seeing his ninja become lazy.[1][2]
Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu
Wasted True Potential
After catching them in their hot tub which they made out of a sacred bell, Wu gives them a lecture on monks who became ninja and combat strange animals while the chicken was in a nearby box. Wu then tells them to survive five minutes with what was inside and left. When the box opened, revealing the chicken, the ninja assumed it was a joke until it suddenly charges up and attacks them. They all manage to grab the chicken and put it back in the box in less than five minutes.
Later that night, when Cole goes for a fridge raid, the chicken was in it and attacked him.
The following morning, after defeating his ninja easily, Wu unleashes his chicken on them as punishment.
Questing for Quests
The chicken was seen pecking at the ground while Wu swept nearby when the ninja came back, following some failed quests, dead ends, or false leads when helping the Ninjago Police.
A Rocky Start
As the ninja unintentionally overpack, Jay was chasing after the chicken as it wore his travel pillow before grabbing it. It tries to grab it again, but Jay moves it away.
Snaketastrophy
A small montage of what the ninja were doing showed one with the chicken chasing Lloyd, Jay, and Zane for having a picnic.
Under Siege
While the Pyro Vipers were searching for Wu, the chicken attacks a Pyro Viper in the kitchen.
A Cold Goodbye
After getting the wrong bag, Lloyd tries to go for the other bag containing Traveler's Tea. However, he comes across the chicken. He tries to shoo it away, but it blasts him out of the room before landing next to Wu, who pets it for its accomplishment.
The Kaiju Protocol
The chicken passes by Wu and P.I.X.A.L. as they try to create a portal to the Never-Realm.
Prime Empire
Stop, Drop and Side Scroll
A pixelated version of Wu's chicken can be seen as a battle opponent for Lloyd.
Master of the Mountain
Shintaro
The chicken was with Cole as he plays Prime Empire, but struggles to play itself before Lloyd comes in, and decided to play it. It later chases the Postman away.
Seabound
The Call of the Deep
The chicken is laying on Nya's bed when Maya goes to check up on her before she starts to clean up the room, and forces the chicken out of the room.
The Turn of the Tide
The chicken attacked a Maaray Guard and later came to pay its respects at Nya's memorial.
The Virtues of Spinjitzu
Curiosity
When Kai and Jay had a bet on who would break the most bricks for a cookie, they almost inadvertently knock some of the pieces at the chicken. It later looked at the hole in the wall where the bricks originally were. It then swiftly grabs the cookie that Jay tried to eat before Wu inadvertently sent it to Zane, who passes it to Kai, only for it to be tossed to Cole when Wu scared him before the chicken caught it in its beak. The chicken then stood on the wall before jumping off when it collapsed.

Behind the scenes
- According to Tommy Andreasen, Wu's chicken appears in the show as a reference to the short, "The Master," created for The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Later, the designers included the statue of chicken in the 70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu, so the creators put it in the show.[3]
- The name of Wu's chicken will be revealed in a future episode of Ninjago.[4]
- It is currently unknown whether this was the name Mrs. Benedict, as it was called in Season 13 blooper reel, or will have another name in the show.
- As shown in Concept art, the chicken was originally supposed to be white and more reminiscent of a real LEGO chicken.
Trivia
- Wu claims that the monks who lived in the hills became ninja to escape and combat the strange creatures that lived there like the chicken and that a test all ninja must complete is to last 5 minutes in a room with it.
- Wu's chicken appears in "behind-the-scenes" form in the Season 13 blooper reel, where her name is Mrs. Benedict and she has the ability to speak.
- It appears to have lightning-based powers, but it is unknown if it uses the actual element of Lightning.
- It seems to like cookies.[5]
