poulet
Parisian menu bird
Poulet is the French word for chicken, appearing in English primarily on menus and in culinary contexts: poulet rôti, poulet à la crème.
Using the French term often signals refined or French-style preparation.
In casual speech, calling something poulet rather than chicken adds a touch of pretension or humor.
