It depends on your religion. Most Christian denominations that observe Lent allow the eating of meat and chicken. Many follow no dietary rules at all.

Catholics abstain from eating meat from warm blooded animals (including chicken) on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent, including Good Friday.
Catholics are required to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. That means one normal meal, two modest meals that add up to equal the other meal, and no snacking in between. Under age 14 and over age 60, as well as people who can't fast for medical reasons are exempt. In addition, the meat of warmblooded animals is not to be consumed on Fridays during Lent.

The short answer about chicken: yes, but not on Fridays.
Catholics abstain from all meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all other Fridays in during Lent. Seafood is allowed, but no poultry.
