See the most agreed on films →A bumbling team of narcotics detectives is on the verge of being disbanded after yet another failed operation. They get one last chance: to go undercover and shut down a major drug ring operating out of a small chicken restaurant. To maintain their cover, they take over the restaurant and unexpectedly create the most popular fried chicken joint in the city. As their business booms, they struggle to balance their demanding new roles as chefs with the actual investigation, leading to a series of hilarious mishaps as they try to catch the criminals right under their noses.
