Fine member of parliament to be chicken? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fowl

'be chicken?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fine member of parliament' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'member of parliament' becomes 'owl' ('parliament' is the collective noun for 'owl').
'f'+'owl'='FOWL'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for fowl that I've seen before include "Any farmyard bird" , "Bird kept for eggs and meat" , "Domesticated bird" , "eg Chicken" , "Domestic birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
