Cooked our moist chicken (8)
I believe the answer is:
timorous
'chicken' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cooked our moist' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'our'+'moist'='ourmoist'
'ourmoist' anagrammed gives 'TIMOROUS'.
(Other definitions for timorous that I've seen before include "Shrinking by nature" , "Not bold, nervously hesitant" , "Shy, nervous" , "Shy; retiring" , "Showing a lack of confidence" .)
