List includes a chicken (7)
I believe the answer is:
roaster
'chicken' is the definition.
(I know that roaster is a type of chicken)
'list includes a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'list' could be 'roster' (roster is a kind of list) and 'roster' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roaster that I've seen before include "Fowl for the oven" , "hot day" , "Oven-ready bird" , "oven item" , "cooker" .)
