Overview
Cooked Chicken is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through smelting Raw Chicken and killing chickens with Fire Aspect. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Cooked Chicken. Eating it restores 6 hunger (3 drumsticks) and 7.2 saturation points. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.
In this database, Cooked Chicken sits alongside 36 other Food entries, each with its own page. Restoring 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation, Cooked Chicken keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again.
