Bugger!
Getting my primes mixed up.
It's 43.
So chickens are the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything + 1

n + 1
where n = the total number of chickens available at the restaurant.

Without specifying whether the purchaser may (or has to) order one package, or more than one of each package, and other details, I think there is no real question here to begin with.
Otherwise the largest available quantity is always: "gimme all ya got." And, asking for more than they "got" is nonsensical.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

I always like the situation, when I succeed to create a puzzle - not always intentionally - where there is room for interpretations of any kind...
What is most exciting with this one, that all choose not to see the possible math in it

You can order whatever you want. The question should be 'What is the largest number of chickens you can order that the restaurant cannot fulfil?' and the answer is 'infinity'. (Before someone else suggests infinity + 1 or infinity + anyPositiveNumber, I'll still be right because infinity + n is still infinity)

And that's a proof that 'infinity' is not a number, so you can not order 'infinity' number of packages...

You would think the answer just has to be 42, but in this case the answer is 43.
This is the Frobenius number of [6,9,20]. More info: about McNuggetNumbers

Sheesh, so there's a theory for it already?

No waffling over this one -- yes!
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It's a griddle to late for you to syrupy consider whether or not to post that.

If their visitors are anything some of those we get in QA, they couldn't attack a hole in the ground, let alone a website.

TBH, I think I'd be pretty useless against a hole in the ground, too -- but my attempting to decapitate it with an axe would probably do well on youtube.
