Sorry but you did ask, I don't see anything wrong with saying yeah thanks grab a chook.
We take something to friends all the time (and yep I've taken a chook), more often than not we have a few types of meat etc on offer so it might not be the main part of the meal.

Next time you host I'd just say, would you mind bringing a chook even it out.

I understand what you mean about one sided friends but you know what, next time don't offer, jsut show up empty handed - fairs fair right.
