Cooked Chicken at a glance

Restoring 6 hunger and 7.2 saturation, Cooked Chicken keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 7.2 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Cooked Chicken again.

Cooking
Heat is all Cooked Chicken asks for: Raw Chicken goes in any of these 3 and comes back out. A smoker does one in 5 seconds, a campfire needs 30. Cooked Chicken pays 0.35 experience each time, 22.4 for the whole 64. Raw Chicken on its own is worth 2 hunger and 1.2 saturation; through the fire that becomes 6 and 7.2.
Mobs that drop it
Chicken drops Cooked Chicken only while burning, so it takes Fire Aspect or a fire underneath to get it straight from the mob.
Eating
Count 6.4 seconds to eat back a whole bar with Cooked Chicken: 4 helpings at 1.6 seconds each. Every hunger point Cooked Chicken gives back carries 1.2 saturation with it, which is what decides how long you stay full. On saturation Cooked Chicken lands at 10 of 37, just under Beetroot Soup and just over Mushroom Stew.
Notes
Chickens can be farmed easily with seeds. Raw chicken has a 30% chance of causing food poisoning.
