Not necessarily. It depends which evolutionary theory we're going with, and indeed, when a chicken is first recognised as a chicken, and not some other type of creature.

No doubt chickens evolved from some other creature, but was in an egg laying creature?

If not, and the evolution into egg laying came after if became recognised as a chicken, then it would appear that the chicken did indeed come first, only laying eggs further into it's own evolution.

But I don't know much about the evolution of chickens, given that I don't much care, so I can't be sure which is true.

The egg came first, then the chicken. Then the Coco Pops. Then I went to work.

Spot on.

*sigh*

in evolutionary terms, it's quite obvious that the egg came first.

what a stupid question

Doesn't really matter at all really does it.

Its the same as

What is the meaning of life?

Where did everything come from?

Is there a god?

Just one of the questions that we may never find out the answer to.

Would you like that scrambled?

I think it was the egg that came first.
