Tony “Bawk” is ready to roll! Pilgrim’s®, the frozen fully cooked chicken brand known for crave-worthy chicken nuggets and chicken wings, is teaming up with the Birdman himself, Tony Hawk (now known as Tony “Bawk”), to show skateboarders and nugget fans alike how to snack like a pro. Together, the duo created the Pilgrim’s x Tony Hawk Bawk Board, a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition skateboard deck, that can be used on the halfpipe to pull tricks or serve as the ultimate snack board for munching on Pilgrim’s nuggets. Fans can enter the Pilgrim's Pro Snacker Giveaway on social media for a chance to win one of 10 limited edition boards signed by Tony, with one lucky fan also taking home the ultimate prize - a year's supply of chicken nuggets!
As it turns out, skateboarding and Pilgrim’s chicken nuggets have a lot in common. Both take risks, lean into the bold, and never settle for boring. Over his legendary career, Tony Hawk has become synonymous with skateboarding and is now channeling that same fearless spirit with his new “pro snacker” persona. In a new series of videos featuring some archival footage, “The Birdman” puts a snacking spin on iconic skateboarding tricks— inspired by Pilgrim’s crispy, delicious nuggets. From the ‘Bawk n’ Roll’ to the ‘Freehand Nugget,’ and every sauce fanatic’s dream, the ‘Trippy Dippy,’ these tricks take classic skateboarding moves and give them a delicious twist—turning big air into big flavor, smooth grabs into smooth dips, and perfect landings into the perfect bite.
“You don’t have to be a pro skater to become a pro snacker," said Hawk in a recent press release. “Teaming up with Pilgrim’s to bring some crispy chaos to the halfpipe has been a nostalgic and delicious collab."
Pilgrim’s is giving 10 lucky fans the chance to win an exclusive Pilgrim’s x Tony Hawk Bawk Board, signed by the legend himself. All fans need to do is show off their best pro snacking moves — whether you stack your nuggets high, double dunk into sauces for maximum flavor or toss em’ up and catch in your mouth, there’s only one rule: don’t be boring! To enter, fans can:
“This partnership is everything that Pilgrim’s stands for,” said Chelsea Parker, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at Pilgrim’s US. “It’s bold, nostalgic, unexpected, and above all – fun.

This partnership is another extension of the brand’s larger mission to knock the boredom out of chicken by delivering restaurant-quality products to grocery store freezers.
