I think the easiest way to kill the Cockatrice is Magic Archer's Immolation. I'm not sure what a good level is, but I was level 60 or 61 when I beat it last night (first playthrough). I wasn't too worried because I have a pawn with Void Spell anyway. I used my Hunter bolt once to interrupt a petrification attack. As soon as it hit the ground I was charging Immolation.

Once I was on fire I jumped on its back and started hacking away. It never attacked a second time it was just freaking out because of the fire. The whole fight was over in about a minute, I only lost about a fifth of my health from the Immolation, and none of my pawns got touched. I use Magic Archer for all of the hard fights.
