Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Raw and cooked food/Chicken

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

Chickens
Raw chicken is dropped by chickens when they die. Each chicken drops one raw chicken. It does not matter if the player was involved in the chicken's death. The amount of raw chicken dropped is affected by the Looting enchantment.

When a chicken dies while on fire, it will drop one cooked chicken instead of raw chicken. It does not matter if the player was involved in the chicken's death. The amount of cooked chicken dropped is affected by the Looting enchantment.

Cooking
Raw chicken can be cooked in a furnace. Each piece of cooked chicken removed from a furnace output slot gives 0.35 experience (22.4 experience per stack).

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

Butcher villagers will offer 6–8 cooked chicken for an emerald as one of their second tier trades.

Food
To eat chicken, press and hold while it is selected in the hotbar.

Eating one raw chicken restores hunger and 1.2 hunger saturation, but has a 30% chance of inflicting the  effect for 30 seconds.

Eating cooked chicken restores hunger and 7.2 hunger saturation.

Wolves
Both raw and cooked 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.
