Unlike its predecessors, 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve and O.K. Ken?, 100 Ton Chicken did not reach the UK Albums Chart.[3] AllMusic noted "Sorry, but this chicken laid a 20-ton rotten egg".[2]
The entire album and the rest of the Chicken Shack sessions on Blue Horizon were made available on the CD compilation Chicken Shack - The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2007). Several outtakes from the 100 Ton Chicken sessions were made available for the first time on this compilation. "Smartest Girl in the World" and "Hideaway" were both unpublished outtakes. "The Things You Put Me Through" was also an outtake but it had been released as the B side to the single "Tears in the Wind".
All songs written and composed by Stan Webb, except where noted.
