Members Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson each put on a chicken outfit alongside Fallon and performed an all-clucking rendition of hit Backstreet Boys song, "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" onstage.

They also performed chicken-inspired choreography.

The Bawkstreet Boys gathered outside the Tonight Show studio and poked fun at an age-old joke by crossing the road together in order to get to the other side.

DNA includes the singles "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and "Chances." The Backstreet Boys will be going on a world tour in support of the album starting in May.

The Backstreet Boys will be featured in a Doritos commercial alongside Chance the Rapper during Super Bowl LIII on Feb. 3.
