Doubtful, most common meal for peasants would have been a sort of stew of vegetables and oats called pottage.
A whole chicken would have been prohibitively expensive either to purchase or in lost money from sale at market, same for pork or beef.
Fish though would be plentiful and cheap and a valuable source of protein. Oysters were considered peasant food until pretty much the 20th century.
Wheat bread similarly would have been a rare luxury, especially made from refined white flour, rye and buckwheat, roughly ground would be far more common.

I read this comment in Max Miller’s voice and it definitely enhanced it

Oysters until even the late 20th century, yes?
Oysters were so common that they were incredibly cheap, but they were not considered peasant food. They were enjoyed among the different classes.
