Cooked Chicken

=Cooked Chicken= Cooked Chicken is a food item made from roasting raw chicken in an oven or by killing chickens with fire. Cooked chicken heals 6 hunger units and 7.2 units of food saturation, making it slightly a better food than bread or cooked fish.

=Smelting= In order to make cooked chicken, you must fuel the furnace with coal, charcoal etc in the bottom slot, and place the raw chicken in the top slot of the furnace. Wait a few seconds, and voila! Collect your cooked chicken in the right slot of the furnace.

=Effects= Cooked chicken can also be obtained by killing a chicken wit fire or a sword with fire enchantment on it. Eating the chick raw only restores 1/3 as many hunger points (1) and has a 30% chance of giving the player food poisoning.

=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 of that block. They will burn to deal and drop cooked chicken. This method no longer works due to the Minecraft 1.0RC1 update which made baby chickens hatch from eggs instead if adults.
