Chicken A to Z: 1,000 Recipes from Around the World
Named "Best Cookbook of the Year" at the 24th Annual Gourmand Awards, this is the only collection of chicken recipes any home cook will ever need.
Celebrating chicken's central place in the world's culinary repertoire, this book gathers more than 1,000 recipes along with anecdotes, stories, and trivia from every continent. The recipes span the entire spectrum from family celebrations to intimate dinners and quick snacks to street food, and include variations from restaurant-style preparations to traditional home cooking. For the home cook, this book is a tireless source of inspiration for how to prepare chicken.
Organized by region and country, each recipe comes with complementary recipes such as side dishes, sauces, condiments, or beverages, as well as alternate preparations and variations. Between the main recipes, their variations, and the sides, the book contains nearly 4,000 recipes. Of particular note is the marginalia that accompanies each recipe: historical anecdotes, information on particular chicken breeds or regional landraces, cultural information, and trivia--both serious as well as amusing.
Domesticated long ago, the chicken--which can still be found in the wild in India--joined humankind in spreading across the globe. It is ubiquitous, but it is also a culinary star--truly indispensable.

Was very excited to see what recipes would be attributed to my country of origin. One of the recipes raised red flags as not being authentic to my culture's cuisine. I've asked people here and back home if they know of this recipe and the response has been negative. Digging through the internet I only get 1 result with a recipe with the same name from 2007.
Makes me question if all the other recipes attributed to different countries are actually theirs.
