Chicken (Whole) is a whole chicken carcass ready for the kitchen. It is a huge amount of meat, lowering hunger by 160 and holding 1495 calories. It weighs 1.2.
A whole chicken comes from butchering a chicken. It is usually cut into legs, wings and fillets with a knife. It must be cooked before eating, and it spoils within two days. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A Chicken (Whole) lowers hunger by 160. It holds 1495 calories, with almost 100 grams of protein, 41 grams of fat and no carbohydrates. One bird can feed a character for a long time.
Raw chicken is dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. It should always be cooked first. It is better hot, so it gives a small mood lift when eaten fresh from the heat.
Eating it whole is wasteful in practice. It spoils fast, and few characters can eat that much before it turns. Cutting it up spreads the meat across several meals and dishes.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A Chicken (Whole) cooks in 30 minutes and burns after 60. It turns out poorly in a microwave, so an oven, a stove or a campfire is the better choice.
The Cut Up Chicken recipe splits the bird into 2 Chicken Leg, 2 Chicken Wing and 2 Chicken Fillet. It needs a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, and the tool is kept. The pieces fit into soups, stews, stir fries and many other evolved dishes.
