Oh god what have the forsaken done. Im afraid to eat chicken now.
Just finished this quest. Fun stuff. But note that it took about five or six tries before the chicken actually exploded. Before that, the giant (elite level 13) would take a swipe at the chicken, then wander off unaffected. I'm not sure if this unreliability is intended, or if the chicken is supposed to detonate every time.

"Bear" Steaks, Chicken Stuffers, Suppository Preventors, 5,150 XPDescription
Take this cage, {class}. I've placed inside it one of my own mutant bush chickens, with a few slight modifications. Within the butt of this bush chicken is a stick of dynamite laced with gunk from the diseased organs you brought me. Take the cage out into the surrounding forest and locate the wandering forest ettin. Release the chicken and sit back as my masterwork does its job. The ensuing explosion should be sufficient to kill the ettin or greatly weaken it, allowing you to finish it off.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Give 'em Hell!
It's the goblins' fault, <race>! <hic!> You see, we set off for Silverpine from Bilgewater Harbor, over in Azshara. Huge mistake that was! Never has such a den of inequity and sin existed in our great empire.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lost in the Darkness
Some would say that we are lucky to be alive. Those people would be idiots. At least had we died we would not have had to face the Warchief's wrath. Alas, what's done is done! Now we must attempt to regain our lost honor.
