egg

a chicken was not a chicken until it laid eggs

The Chicken Egg McMuffin Sandwich came first!

The egg....by millions of years

you do know that chickens descended from both Red and the Grey Junglefowl (G. sonneratii)

Eggs predate chickens by tens of millions of years.

Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

The egg.

The common ancestor eventually branched off into different species, one of them probably layed eggs which eventually became chickens.

That's very paraphrased, but it's a jist of what happened in my opinion.
