The Versatile ChickenChicken is "the new hamburger." Low in fat and cholesterol, more nutritious and cheaper than ground beef, chicken has become the choice of diet-conscious, budget-conscious and taste-conscious Americans.
Here is a year's worth of succulent recipes celebrating chicken's versatility- baked; fried; barbecued; stewed; marinated; roasted -- you name it -- it's here. Special sections include recipes for "Chicken Lite" (low-calorie) "Chicken Quick," "Chicken Little" (Cornish Game Hens) and many from America's best-known chefs and restaurants.
Whether your tastes run from Buffalo's famous chicken wings to gumbos with a Cajun-kick, or from subtle and simple to smothered and "othered" (marinades and sauces), you will find months of new mouth-watering recipes that will tickle your fancy and tempt your palate.
One of the very first cookbooks I ever bought right after my college boyfriend (now husband) and I moved in together. I couldn't cook a thing--and this book helped solve that problem. Twenty-plus years later, it is still on my shelf. I will buy a separate copy for each of our 3 children as they move out on their own.
There are a lot of simple to prepare (and tasty) recipes throughout this book. Covers a wide range of chicken dishes, and I was never disappointed in any of the recipes that I tried.
Gosh, I've used and loved this cookbook for years. Lovely recipes for game hens, quick recipes...opens flat....now I do tweak some recipes but there's space to put it. Honestly, my book looks terrible, but that's a sign of a well used cookbook!
I see cookbooks in several catagories, beautiful and complicated, single focus, and yummy AND fast recipes. This is definately the last!
I love this cookbook! We've had it for years (belonged to my mama), and recently we sat down to go through every single recipe to make some new things we haven't tried. So far, there is only ONE we haven't liked (and it wasn't even bad ... just not good enough to want to make it again). Definitely a good one to have on your shelf!
