Volunteer to help with the dishes, then ask whether you can take away the plate the chicken is sitting on. If nobody else claims it, it’s yours.
Clear another plate before you touch the one with the chicken on it. Clear something else after. Clear your plate when you’re done eating.
Don’t do more work than your hosts. You’re being helpful, not trying to work off the price of dinner.
