Description

Would you roast 40 chickens to find a simple, foolproof method that results in perfectly cooked meat and beautifully browned skin every time? We did. Here are 300 exhaustively tested recipes for America's favorite main course.

Chicken is the go-to main course for most Americans, but the same old recipes featuring bland, dry chicken are all too often the norm - resulting in a collective sigh around the dinner table. The Best Chicken Recipes offers 300 foolproof ideas for cooking chicken right - and making dinner interesting again. Whether you're looking for a never-fail recipe for Simple Roast Chicken, classics with a modern twist (Chicken Salad with Fennel, Lemon, and Parmesan or Braised Chicken with Leeks and Saffron), or something entirely new to incorporate into your repertoire (Chicken Tagine or Firecracker Chicken, anyone?), you'll find it all here. In addition, we offer recipes to fit just about any season, occasion, and lifestyle, all divided into easy-to-navigate chapters for easy reference. Our information-packed primer shows you how to take the guesswork out of knowing when a chicken is done and provides tips for boosting flavor, as well as detailed instructions for basic butchering and carving techniques. Whether you're entertaining a group or cooking for two, are health conscious or time-crunched - we've got you covered. With this book in your kitchen, no one will ever be late to dinner again.

Successful chicken recipes
 
Review Date: June 9, 2008
Reviewer: I. White, New York
I bought this cookbook as a gift for my niece as she was running out of ideas for chicken recipes. She loved receiving it and immediately tried a few of the dishes with great success. Cook's Illustrated and their TV program, America's Test Kitchen, always have great recipes so buying this book was a no brainer!
Clear step-by-step 'how to' explanations make for an exceptionally easy presentation.

America's Test Kitchen roasted some 40 chickens to find a foolproof recipe for roast chicken - and this is an example of just one of the exhaustive testing methods conducted on each and every recipe featured in BEST CHICKEN RECIPES - making it the best. Chapters divided by type of chicken - roasted and baked, fried, or stir-fried for example - make it easy to locate dishes by method, while a peppering of color photos and clear step-by-step 'how to' explanations make for an exceptionally easy presentation. Highly recommended: any general-interest library catering to any level of home cook needs this.

Cooks Illustrated cookbooks are without fail, excellent. They try out all of the possibilities for you and then tell you which works best and why. Cannot beat it !! Good illustrations, good range of recipes.

We have had really good sucess using this book. They really know how to do the recipes. They explain why they do things. While there are not tons of recipes, the ones in this book taste great and that is what the any good cookbook should do.
