Chickens are kosher, if properly slaughtered. Jews have traditionally eaten chicken. Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 provide lists of unclean birds without giving explicit rules. By inference, carrion eaters and carnivorous birds are unclean. The birds permitted for Temple sacrifices are, by definition, clean, since no unclean things were allowed as sacrifices. Doves and pigeons (another kind of dove) are permitted as sacrifices. Chickens behave more like doves than the forbidden birds, so that matches the tradition. Rabbis had to grapple with this question fairly seriously when the European community first encountered turkeys imported from the new world. The conclusion was that turkeys are kosher too.

Can you eat animals with split hoofs according to the bible?
Answer:Anyone CAN eat anything they want to... or dare to. However, God tells us in His Word what meat is GOOD for us to eat, provided it's prepared in the manner He also commands. Our Creator wants us to he healthy... thus, the "dietary laws."Some of the "clean meats" fit for human consumption are those not just with "split hooves"... but they must also "chew the cud.""Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, AND cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you... the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you... the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you..." (Lev.11:3-7).According to the Bible, these two criteria determine whether an animal is fit for human consumption. The unclean animals also "can" be eaten... but, according to the Bible, "shouldn't be."
