Raw Chicken

Raw chicken is a food item that can be eaten by the player. It can be cooked in a furnace, smoker, or a campfire to make cooked chicken.

Mob loot
Upon death, an adult chicken drops 1 raw chicken. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1-4 with Looting III. Chickens that die while on fire drop cooked chicken instead.

Cat gifts
Tamed cats have a 70% chance to give the player a gift as they wake up from a bed, and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be raw chicken.

Food
To eat raw chicken, press and hold while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation, but has a 30% chance of inflicting food poisoning (the  effect for 30 seconds).

Raw chicken can be used to breed and heal tamed wolves, lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Wolves are at no risk of food poisoning.
