Solved: Smelting recipe not working?

[broken delta]

I'm adding a new chicken variant in my mod, and I want to set up the smelting/smoking/campfire recipes for it. I copied the recipes files for cooked chicken from data/minecraft/recipes to my resources folder under data/exchickens/recipes and changed the item IDs to mine. But when I load the game none of the 3 recipes work and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong?

Here's my smelting recipe file

{
    "type": "minecraft:smelting",
    "category": "food",
    "cookingtime": 200,
    "experience": 0.35,
    "ingredient": {
        "item": "exchickens:chicken"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "exchickens:cooked_chicken"
    }
}

I solved the issue, the files were in data/exchickens/recipes instead of data/exchickens/recipe
