rurx,
First, I really don't think it should change any creature in the game that already drops any form of meat so the chicken would stay exactly the same as it is now.
How about:
1. Kill a dragon
2a. Butcher the carcass if you have a high enough butchery level (and also the higher your level the more dragon steaks you might get from a single carcass).
2b. Keep the carcass to sell or use later along with the dragon hide and bones.
3. Cook the dragon steaks if you have a high enough cooking level. (be careful, they burn easily so a very high cooking level would be to your advantage).
Or you could just kill a dragon and have its carcass magically disappear as it does now.
There are hundreds and hundreds of creatures in the game that don't drop any carcass whatsoever that could add quite a bit of depth to this skill suggestion.

Hmm... It will be a challenge for Jagex, but I support!
Like how creatures in World of Warcraft, Runes of Magic, etc. the creatures collapse on the ground. Jagex should update their creatures to make the creatures die the same way to make the skill possible.
Kinda' hard to describe, so excuse my explanation.

Problems: Why would people want to train this, why would people pick up carcasses, and why make this into a whole new skill. You could easily turn this into a cooking side on thing. Although I doubt it would become popular, plus it would take lots of work. Work on this man :P
Also: Almost every creature drops a carcass: bones. The most common monster drop in all of runescape :P

Giving Death,
"Why would people want to train this"?
Because it would advance their Butchery skill, provide new and better foods, and it would be a great source of income.
"why would people pick up carcasses"?
For the same reasons folks pick up anything. It would be a resource, it has value. It can be butchered into steaks and meats that can be cooked or sold to cooks. It could just be collected and sold to folks wanting to advance their Butchery skill.
"why make this into a whole new skill"?
Why not? What's wrong with a new skill?
"You could easily turn this into a cooking side on thing"
Cooking is diverse enough. It's just too much work for an add on.
"Although I doubt it would become popular"
Better and unique foods and more income wouldn't be popular? It's kinda like Fletching meat. Fletching isn't popular?
"plus it would take lots of work"
I've never really minded work. It gives a great sense of accomplishment.
"Work on this man"
Will do.
Bones are bones. They are not a carcass.
Thanks for your comments.

Already, the best food is a potion called Saradomin Brew.
The best food after that, is Rocktail.
We don't need food that heals 1/4 the max HP.

Wow, using a knife or Cleaver with a carcass. It sounds like experience would be just like Fletching or Cooking.
We don't need another one of those.

>Why not? What's wrong with a new skill?
A good skill is better than just a "new" skill.

>Cooking is diverse enough. It's just too much work for an add on.
Why limit what Cooking does? Considering Recipe for Disaster gives you the standard stuff a Butcher would have: Cleaver, Meat Tenderizer, Knife, etc.

>Better and unique foods and more income wouldn't be popular? It's kinda like Fletching meat. Fletching isn't popular?
Nope, it isn't. People just get it in order to have A skillcape or to TRIM a previous skillcape.

>I've never really minded work. It gives a great sense of accomplishment.
Yup, gotta grind some useless skill better than some other noob!

>Will do.
Give up on the idea, chances are, Jagex won't make this. It is exactly like Cooking, except you have to skin the creature first and chop it up first.
They just made another skill...I doubt another one right now is on their mind.
