Ummm, is this a term you heard or something you saw on a menu?
Generally, this term is used to indicate someone in prime health or at least young. For example, "She's no spring chicken" means she is not in such great shape anymore or she's old. Mostly, it refers to your body. If you have a great body, you can still be called a spring chicken. I've never heard it used in reference to a male.
In the spring, chickens are still young and growing and, thus, in good shape, look good, etc.

All I have heard people say is "I am no spring chicken". So I am guessing there are not spring chicken around, since not a single person has admitted to being one.

A "spring chicken" refers to a young woman.

It's like a young chicken I guess. Older people say that about young people.

Young and tender. Hatched in the spring. Eaten as soon as it's large enough.
