(figurative) Very sweet-natured or saccharine; harmless.
c. 1800, Anne Isabella Byron, quoted in Malcolm Elwin, Lord Byron's wife
I shall write to you tomorrow on a subject which I have not now time to discuss. This I declare now because I like to excite your curiosity, and to delay gratifying it. I am a sweet chicken ! ! ! You ought to think me the most barley-sugar daughter in the creation!
