I worked at a summer camp a few years ago and an inner city kid told me that this expression derives from the term off the hook. However is something is off the chain it is far more exciting and possibly even enchanting.

Get the off the chain mug.
A way stupid people who think they're hip describe an awesome event, such as a party or concert. Often used by crackheads or Asians who think they're down with black folk.
Crackhead/Asian: Yo nigga, that party last night wuz off the chain, muthafucka!
Black dude/normal person: Shut the fuck up. (Beats his ass). Don't ever say that again.
