**Travis**and Jason Kelce have dropped their review of the new treat at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the brothers were seen discussing their favorite MLB concessions. This included the viral fried chicken dessert that was instantly sold out.
Travis and Jason Kelce opened up on the Yankees’ chicken ice cream dish. Jason said, “What is the point of making it look like chicken? I am not a big fan if a food impersonates other food.” He added, “I am out on the chicken sandwich ice cream sandwich thing.” The former footballer shared that he doesn’t need it to look like a chicken drumstick. He further wondered, “Who are we fooling here?” and continued, “I would make sense if it were the New York chickens.”
On the other hand, Travis said, “This doesn’t make any sense at all. There has to be something that’s making sense.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end added, “There’s no way somebody would be like, ‘Alright, here check this out, guys,’ and presses on the ‘drumstick.'” Meanwhile, the guest hilariously stated that the brothers are “overthinking” regarding the dish.

MLB announced this unique dessert on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “The Yankees will have a Mini Dessert ‘Chicken’ Bucket at home games this year. But it’s not actually chicken – it’s drumstick-shaped ice cream with a chocolate-covered cookie ‘bone’ center, a coating of white chocolate and candied corn flakes served in a souvenir mini ‘chicken’ bucket.”
Priced at $10.99, the treat became popular with fans, who were reportedly waiting for a long time to grab it. Fans were also surprised by the dessert’s resemblance to a drumstick. Meanwhile, Michael Margolis, senior director of communications, commented on its success to . He said, “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.”
