Description:  Super Chicken is a superhero cartoon segment from the creators of Rocky and Bullwinkle that aired on the series George of the Jungle starting in 1967. It follows the wealthy Henry Cabot Henhouse III, who transforms into the superhero Super Chicken by drinking a "super sauce" prepared by his lion butler, Fred. The segment is known for its spoof of superhero tropes with a humorous and slapstick style.

Civilian life: Henry Cabot Henhouse III is a wealthy millionaire. His only companion is his lion sidekick, Fred, who serves as his butler in civilian life.

Transformation: When danger arises, Fred prepares the "super sauce," and Henry drinks it to transform into Super Chicken. The sauce causes him to perform wild gyrations before his superhero form emerges.

Superhero form: Super Chicken is a ridiculous hero who dons a plumed cavalier's hat, cape, Wellington boots, mask, and sword.

Humor: The show uses running gags and funny one-liners, including the catchphrase, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred".

Creators: It was created by Jay Ward and Bill Scott, who also produced Rocky and Bullwinkle.
