Cook or store chicken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rooster

'chicken' is the definition.
(rooster is a kind of chicken)

'cook or store' is the wordplay.
'cook' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'store'='orstore'
'orstore' is an anagram of 'ROOSTER'.

(Other definitions for rooster that I've seen before include "One crows" , "Chanticleer" , "So retro (anag.)" , "Morning caller" , "Bird that wakes up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
