Just like this!! That will Teach the dog to assoaite the chicken with an unpositive reaction, so when he is focusing on the chicken tell him NO (or what ever mothod you use that your dog already knows means NO). and at the same time every time the dog does not stare the chicken down (breaks eye contact for a while) praise him so he knows he is being good for ignoing the chicken!
I have a golden retrever and he has been trained as a bird dog but because we spent the time to train him that the hens are MINE not HIS he does wonderful... the hens even get out from time to time and he could care less!
Good luck and Happy training!
