Poultry in the kitchen (3)
I believe the answer is:
hen
'poultry' is the definition.
(hen is a kind of poultry)
'the kitchen' is the wordplay.
'HEN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Coop resident" , "Clucking female" , "Domestic fowl" , "Female lobster, fowl" , "Domestic egg layer" .)
