Is 'chicken' an idiom?

Chicken is not an idiom, because an idiom is a phrase. Chicken, meaning afraid or cowardly, is a slang term. Slang is when you have a word (sometimes a couple of words) that local people use in a different way from the accepted meaning. Americans call someone 'chicken' not because they are domesticated birds that lay eggs and taste good fried, but because they act afraid.
