What is the origin of ‘winner winner, chicken dinner!’?

The origin is traced back to a phrase from an episode of the American animated television series “Rocky and His Friends”.
The scene is set during Pigsy’s circus act which features him running around a barn chasing after hens, trying to catch them before they cross the “finish line” (a chalk outline on the floor) in order to claim said chicken dinner for his prize.
Throughout the course of the show, Pigsy finds himself continually beaten by a clever hen who manages to elude his clutches every time just as she passes over onto his side of this finish line whereupon he has a brief moment to celebrate victory.
