Howell was filmed going to a Chicken Heads concert at a Freak Show Wrestling event in Las Vegas, where she joined the band onstage and conducted a brief interview with Carrot Topp. In December 2014, the Chicken Heads released a parody cover of Elvis Presleys "Burning Love", re-written as the Hanukkah-themed "Burning Latke". "Heeb", a satirical Jewish magazine, singled it out as one of the "Worst Hanukkah Videos Of 2014", criticizing the "too obvious" parody lyrics but nevertheless praising the rest of the Chicken Heads' work as "genuinely fun". The Chicken Heads spent most of 2015 touring sporadically, including a three-show engagement in Lima, Peru in May. The band received further international attention when Polish radio network Antyradio ranked the Chicken Heads #18 on their list of the "Top 20 Rock and Metal Freaks", a list of costumed and theatrical rock bands, and in 2014 "OC Weekly" ranked them ninth on their list of the top ten horror punk bands. In 2014 and 2015, the band appeared on KNBCs "1st Look" and KABC-TVs "Eye on LA", respectively, on local interest shows highlighting the California Institute of Abnormalarts, both of which featured the Chicken Heads performing on the venue's stage in specially-recorded segments. On March 28, 2015, The Steve Allen Theater hosted "The Radioactive Chicken Heads Tanksgiving Special", a surrealist three-act comedy play featuring the music of and live accompaniment by the Chicken Heads, written and directed by composer and frequent Chicken Heads collaborator Ego Plum. Set in a dystopian alternate history where Colonel Sanders is depicted as an imperialist dictator presiding over a land where rock music is outlawed, the play follows a quartet of Chicken Head puppets who discover and subsequently learn to play rock and roll music in an attempt to overthrow Sanders' regime. In addition to the Chicken Heads, the play's cast included GWARs Hunter Jackson (as his Techno Destructo persona), Haunted Garages Dukey Flyswatter and Mike Odd of Rosemary's Billygoat and Mac Sabbath in speaking roles. On August 14, 2017, the Chicken Heads appeared on the ABC revival of "The Gong Show", marking the band's second appearance on a "Gong Show" incarnation following 1998's "Extreme Gong". The band performed a cover of The Trashmens 1963 hit "Surfin' Bird", but were gonged after 41 seconds by guest judge Jack Black.
