Cooked Chicken is a food item made from roasting raw chicken in a furnace or by killing chickens with fire or a sword with the Fire Aspect enchantment. Cooked chicken heals 6 points (3 "shanks") of hunger and 7.2 units of food saturation, making it slightly a better food than bread or cooked fish.

Raw Chicken + Fuel

[edit] Effects

Eating the chicken raw only restores 1/3 as many hunger points () and has a 30% chance of giving the player food poisoning.

[edit] Farming

Since chickens are persistent as of Beta 1.8, it is easily possible to create chicken egg farms. Put eggs into dispensers to spawn chickens automatically, then let the chickens fall onto a burning netherrack block and let them run off that block. They will burn to death and drop cooked chicken. This method no longer works due to the Minecraft 1.0RC1 update which made baby chickens hatch from eggs instead of adults. Keep in mind that baby chickens do not drop anything, not even experience, but adults will possibly drop feathers and/or raw chicken, but this is not always guaranteend, but usually occurs when a chicken dies.

		At first the cooked chicken texture was different - , but was changed after Jeb admitted it didn't fit into Minecraft's sharp textures norm.
		In the 1.8 pre-release, cooked chicken was actually called Roast Chicken. This was changed at release.
