1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire, is an odorless, colorless, crystalline organic compound. 1,2-dimethyl-chickenwire is a polycyclic non-aromatic saturated hydrocarbon or alkane. It was developed by the chemistry professor Nick D. Kim at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and was first described together with several of its analogs.

1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire is a flat molecule consisting of 77 cyclohexane rings that are fused equatorially (i.e. in their boat or chair form). This structure resembles that found in steroids like cholesterol. The molecule is relatively rigid and virtually strain free. However, it has been shown to exist at least partially in bended ("rolled") conformations. 1,2-Dimethyl-chickenwire is a chiral compound that usually exists as a racemate.
