Tiffani Thiessen Gets Unexpected Pumpkin Carving Help: ‘Let the Chickens Go At It’

The 'Saved By The Bell' alum is embracing spooky season with her chickens

Tiffani Thiessen — and her chickens — are getting in the Halloween spirit!

The Saved by the Bell alum, 49, posted a video to Instagram on Sunday to show off her unusual technique for pumpkin carving.

“We take Halloween decorating very seriously in this household. Even the chickens,” she captioned the tutorial.

Set to audio inspired by Rose McGowan’s role in the 1996 thriller Scream, the actress sculpted the perfect jack-o-lantern in the clip. The Buried Secrets actress then placed the pumpkin on the floor of her chicken coop where several of her chickens gathered around to peck away at the edible Halloween decor.

“The chickens really went to town on that pumpkin 🎃 👻,” one user commented on her post, while another added "They did a great job!"

On Wednesday, Thiessen shared a clip of her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show to her Instagram Story. And the talk show host also wanted to chat to the Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th star about her unconventional pumpkin carving hack.

“My chickens love pumpkins,” the star told a seemingly surprised Hudson, 42.

The Dinner at Tiffani's star explained that, “most chickens love scraps and leftovers as well.”

“So, generally, I do this thing where I start the carving of the pumpkin and then I let the chickens go at it."

In March, Thiessen spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about her second cookbook, Here We Go Again: Recipes and Inspiration to Level Up Your Leftovers, which is all about not wasting food.

The television star said that the idea for her cookbook came from lessons she learned during her childhood.

"It was leftover taco meat one night made into some sort of taco-mex chili a couple days later," Thiessen said. "My mom was always doing things like that, and so this book was really something I've always wanted to do."

She added that she "wasn't raised with a lot of money," which inspired her to get creative in the kitchen, particularly once she welcomed her own children. The actress now shares daughter Harper, 13, and son Holt, 8 with husband Brady Smith, 51.
