This culinary centre caters fried chicken treats (7)
I believe the answer is:
kitchen
'this culinary' is the definition.
'centre caters fried chicken treats' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'chicken' could be 'hen' (hen is a kind of chicken) and 'hen' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kitchen that I've seen before include "Room with proverbial heat" , "where food is a concern" , "Cook's place" , "Room for food" , "Proverbial place of uncomfortable heat" .)
