Sheet-Pan Miso Chicken & Sweet Potatoes
This one-pan dinner is the only thing standing between you and ordering takeout (again). Luckily, I’ve whipped up a weeknight meal that’s hands-off, hassle-free, and brimming with bold flavor: sheet-pan miso chicken and sweet potatoes. Bone-in chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, and shallots get smothered with miso-chili sauce and baked until the sweet potatoes are tender […]
Roast Chicken with Herb Gnocchi and White Wine Sauce
This dish is all about crispy, juicy chicken and gnocchi that’s golden and slightly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, herb-packed sauce that brings it all together. The beauty of this recipe is how simple ingredients transform into a comforting, restaurant-worthy meal in just 30 minutes. The air fryer makes the chicken a breeze, […]
Oven-Roasted Barbecue Chicken
Many recipes for oven-barbecued chicken disappoint with soggy skin and little flavor, so our goals were clear. To fix the issue with the skin, we tried a handful of methods including air-drying and broiling, but in the end the best solution was simply to remove it before cooking. This left the meat exposed, making it […]
Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Grill-Roasted Chicken)
In Peru, maestros polleros, or poultry masters, make the wildly popular chickens known as pollo a la brasa by grill-roasting chickens on rotisseries that spin lazily over crackling wood fires to produce meat that's encased in tawny, paper-thin skin and dripping with juices. Our version calls for marinating the bird in a beer-based marinade […]
Garlicky Spiced Chicken and Potato Traybake with Pomegranate Molasses
This meal-in-one is our adaptation of a recipe in “The Palestinian Table” by Reem Kassis, which she prepared for us on a recent trip to Galilee. In lieu of seasoning the chicken and potatoes with the Kassis family’s nine-spice blend, we make a simpler mixture from a few select ground spices. And to make a […]
Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken With Green Sauce
This Peruvian-style grilled chicken is a recipe I back-hacked from the awesome chicken and green sauce they serve at Pio Pio in NYC. The basics are simple: Butterflied chicken with a vinegar and spice rub gets slow-cooked on the grill, then quickly cooked directly over the coals to crisp the skin. It comes out tender […]
Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs
More flavorful and less prone to overcooking than lean breasts, chicken thighs are a perfect weeknight dinner. The only problem is that the layer of fat underneath the skin that helps keep them moist during cooking often leads to flabby skin. To combat this, we cooked the thighs, skin side down, on a preheated […]
Zuni Roast Chicken with Warm Bread Salad
For our own take on Zuni Café’s roast chicken with bread salad, we started by butterflying a whole chicken and salting it overnight so it would cook quickly and evenly and be juicy and well seasoned. Before roasting the chicken in a 475-degree oven, we covered the bottom of a skillet with bread cubes […]
