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

In Minecraft, raw chicken is a food item that when eaten has a chance of giving you the Hunger effect. You can not make raw chicken with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

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

Where to find Raw Chicken in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find raw chicken in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get Raw Chicken in Survival Mode

You can add raw chicken to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a chicken. So let’s get started!

1. Find a Chicken

You first need to find a chicken. Chickens are very easy to find and can be found in most Overworld biomes on land.

2. Attack and Kill the Chicken

Once you find a chicken, you need to attack it. When you attack the chicken, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the chicken. Once you have killed the chicken, it will drop raw chicken, and (if you are lucky) a feather.

3. Pick up the Raw Chicken

Make sure you pick up the raw chicken and feather before it disappears.

These are both useful items and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
