Here's something that might make you might think twice before ordering a bucket of drumsticks: tasty as they may be, those cooked morsels of meat actually come from... dinosaurs.
This hour, we take a closer look at what paleontologists have learned about the prehistoric ancestors of modern-day birds.
But don't imagine all of your favorite dinos as chickens just yet.
New research suggests that T. Rex didn't have feathers like some of its relatives. We find out why and we also hear from you.
