Official card text

Flying, haste This creature can't block. Whenever you attack with three or more creatures, you may pay {R}{R}. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking with a +1/+1 counter on it.

How it works : Phoenix Chick

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    As Phoenix Chick returns to the battlefield because of its triggered ability, you choose which opponent or opposing planeswalker it's attacking. It doesn't have to attack the same opponent or opposing planeswalker as your other attacking creatures.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Phoenix Chick enters the battlefield attacking, it wasn't declared as an attacking creature that turn. Abilities that trigger when a creature attacks won't trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
