Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner: 50 Winning Ways to Cook It Up!

by Stacie Billis

Overview

With this cookbook on your kitchen counter, you’ll prepare delicious chicken suppers with confidence and ease. Author Stacie Billis’ light, funny, and instructional tone takes the intimidation factor out of working with chicken, whether you’re breaking down a bird or roasting it whole. Each chapter is chock-full of tips and tricks that use a wide range of techniques, from braising and roasting to grilling, slow cooking, and sheet-pan cooking, and all fifty recipes focus on tender meat infused with flavor. Keep roasted chicken classic, or give it pizzazz with the addition of a savory compound butter. Get perfectly crispy tenders without frying or give fajitas with lime crema the sheetpan treatment for easy prep (and cleanup). Other favorite recipes include Chicken Thighs with Maple–Cider Vinegar Glaze and Fennel-Apple Slaw, Sheet Pan Shawarma, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, Green and White Chicken Chili, Peachy Sriracha Sticky Wings, and Pineapple Chicken Salad with Green Beans and Toasted Coconut. With colorful photographs of every recipe providing ample inspiration, Winner! Winner Chicken Dinner will help you master the classics and discover new favorites for every occasion, from a casual dinner party to a backyard cookout.

With the same candor that made her debut cookbook, Make It Easy, and long-running podcast, Didn't I Just Feed You, a success, Billis returns with a collection of creative recipes that will make home cooks rethink and reinvent chicken dishes. Beginning with basics, such as buying and handling, Billis provides detailed instructions, along with step-by-step photographs illustrating how to choose the right cut of chicken for any meal. What follows is a series of easy-to-understand recipes that can serve a family or a crowd: sheet pan fajitas with lime crema, pepper jack guacamole burgers, and green-and-white chicken chili, along with options for marinades (such as orange-chipotle) or all-purpose sauces (such as chimichurri). As in her previous cookbook, Billis writes with busy people in mind. Chapters are divided by preferred method of cooking—roasting, braising, sautéing, stir-frying, stewing, grilling—and boast vivid photographs throughout. A final section on "smart leftovers" features winning dishes such as ten-minute tostados. VERDICT This guide is sure to be a go-to resource for cooks of all levels wondering how to make the most out of a common ingredient.—Stephanie Sendaula, Library Journal
