Chicken grease on official releases

What official releases have Prince saying "chicken grease" followed by somebody (Prince, Wendy, anybody) actually playing chicken grease? I'm including video, album, 12", etc. releases here.

The only instance I can think of Prince saying chicken grease on an official release is It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night, but then nobody plays it.

And the only time I can think of the actual chicken grease guitar lick appearing on an official recording is Sexy MF, but he doesn't call it out.

Thanks!

For me, I think what Miko is playing at that point in IGBABN is a variation of chicken grease style. I don't think it has to rigidly be 16th notes with accents - variations are acceptable, colourful and what Miko is playing there sure is funky smile

End of Lady Cab Driver has something approaching it, IIRC. But, again, its unannounced.

But is chicken grease actually played there or does he just yell it out? I don't have that version, so that's why I'm asking.

A little bit of it in the solo for Kiss, I'd say.
