When he is practicing magic, he wears a purple cape, carries a matching purple magician's hat, and holds a wand.
== Personality ==
Big Red Chicken is a big friend, so big that when Dora first met him, she thought he was a red hill! Silly, comical, and always on hand for a party, he loves to do magic tricks, host parties, and play carnival games. He can sometimes act as an adult, he even officiated the Grumpy Old Troll’s wedding! If there's ever a party or big event around, so is he!
== Trivia ==
* His Spanish name would be Pollo Rojo Grande, or Gran Pollo Rojo.
* In Hic-Boom-Ohhh!, Big Red Chicken made Dora and Boots cut off their Travel Song because he's sleeping and they bump into him due to him blocking their way getting through the Quiet Forest, they already arrived to it very quickly somehow, so there was no need for them to finish singing it after that.
* In Dora's Night Light Adventure, Dora tells the same story about Big Red Chicken in the same book, and he's seen as his previous Season 1 self from The Legend of the Big Red Chicken.
* He is the only character whose voice hasn't changed in ¡Dora! as credited in Wizzle Wozzle Woo.
* In the 2023 reboot, the Big Red Chicken loves to sleep, similar to Jeff/Lachlan from The Wiggles, Bedtime Bear from Care Bears, Z from Leapfrog, Snorlax, Komala, and Musharna from Pokemon, Zee from OddBods, and other sleepy characters.
* In some international dubs (e.g. Hungarian) the Big Red Chicken is referred to as female.
