Beef. Chickens are even less likely to be sentient by a considerable margin.
I agree that chickens are less likely to be sentient, but is killing an animal with 50 sentience units worse than killing 10 animals with 5 sentience units? How is suffering likely to scale with sentience?
Related to this and your recent poll on Facebook: Do you distinguish between sentience and sapience?
