Raw Chicken

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

Chickens
One raw chicken is dropped by chickens when they die, whether or not a player was involved in the chicken's death. The amount of raw chicken dropped can be increased by the Looting enchantment.

Chickens that die while on fire will drop cooked chicken instead.

Gift
Tamed cats have a chance to give the player raw chicken as a gift.

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).

Wolves
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.

Trading
Butcher villagers will buy 14 to 18 raw chicken for an emerald.

Butcher villagers have $1/3$ of a chance to buy 14 raw chicken for an emerald as one of their first tier trades.
