Word after "legal" or "chicken" (6)

I believe the answer is:

tender

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include ". . . . . . is the Night (F. Scott Fitzgerald)" , "carer's > inexperienced" , "Considerate and solicitous treatment" , "Make bid as for contract" , "Hurting" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
