Is cookeen the same as lard?

It's likely a misspelling of "chicken," which is a very different ingredient than lard.

* Lard is a type of rendered pork fat.

* Chicken refers to the bird itself, as well as its meat.

If you're looking for a recipe that uses chicken, it's possible the recipe was mistyped. If you can provide more context, I may be able to help you decipher it.
