Can chickens eat this insect?

I want to know if I can feed this to my birds
It's the biggest one I've seen

Yes, it should be fine.

It's some kind of cricket (camel cricket, cave cricket, some such name).

As far as I know, all kinds of crickets are safe for chickens to eat. The only exception would be if the cricket ate something that is poisonous to chickens (this might be an issue if you have put out some kind of poison.)

Mole cricket? Of course.

Update:
I fed it to one of the pullets and she followed me for more
