- Adam chickened out of the plan at the last minute.

"Chicken out" is used to describe when someone refuses/ gives up to do something due to fear. We tend to use this idiom among friends (when fooling around, daring each other, etc.), but apart from that we rarely use it during daily conversations.

A: You could fill in the blank with “ate” or “dined” or “was” or “had lunch” or “had dinner”. All of those would be common. A less common (more formal) expression is “took a meal”. I can’t think of any others, though I am sure there are more.

A: When you say that you ate chicken it can be chicken nugget, chicken wings..., it means that you ate a specific part of the chicken. But when you say that you ate a chicken it means the whole chicken.

A: "prefer" usually (not always) implies that you have a choice.

"Like" is just your preference.

"chicken" is not a verb, but "chicken out" is a phrasal verb.

A:

Think about it logically. The article tells you that there is something going on with the number.

A chicken – one chicken. A chicken is a bird. Birds are countable.

Chicken, or, some chicken – this is the uncountable version. We know that you have an amount of the meat called chicken, but we don't know how much, and we don't know if it comes from one bird or 100 birds - there is no number information.

So technically, yes, you can say that you bought frozen chicken and it can mean the same thing BUT you are not telling us that you bought one bird.

Your original sentence – I bought a frozen chicken – tells us that you bought one bird

A: If you have two or three foods on the table, and you're singling out the fried chicken (that is there in front of you) to say it came through Uber, then it makes sense to say this.

If the listener doesn't already know about the chicken, and it doesn't matter which chicken you're talking about, then don't use "the".

A: × I had a shredded chicken with spicy sesame sauce for my lunch today.
✓ I had shredded chicken with spicy sesame sauce for my lunch today.
