Cooked Chicken – Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft cooked chicken with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, cooked chicken is one of the many food items that you can make. However, it is not made with a crafting table but rather with a furnace or a smoker. When you eat cooked chicken, it will replenish your food meter.

Let’s explore how to add cooked chicken to your inventory.

You can craft cooked chicken in Survival Mode using either a furnace or a smoker.

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make Cooked Chicken

Next, place the raw chicken in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the raw chicken.

Once the raw chicken is cooked in the furnace, the cooked chicken will appear in the box to the right.

Now that you have made cooked chicken in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
