    Recipe: Garlic-Lime Spatchcocked Chicken with a Honey-Soy Glaze

    There’s nothing more comforting than a roast chicken. You salt the skin to crisp it up, you stuff it with some aromatics, and you set it in the oven for an hour or so. It’s probably the easiest prep you can do for the amount of deliciousness you get. My go-to roast chicken is all about the classic continental flavors – citrus and herbs – but I got a little tired of the same-old same-old. I wanted something with brighter, contrasting flavors. I needed more oomph. I needed… gin

    Recipe: Garlic-Lime Grilled Chicken for Salads

    We all know how it happens when we “Add Chicken” to our salads at a restaurant or lunch joint. Out comes an anemic-looking flop of tasteless protein that resembles a sliced-up breast implant. I’m here to change that. This recipe comes from my husband, who is typically in charge of putting together our lunches for the week. We usually go with some kind of salad, and we love to bulk it up with this easy, versatile, and delicious recipe for freshly marinated and grilled garlic-l

    Recipe: Mango-Lime Grilled Chicken

    Nando‘s? It’s a popular Portuguese-inspired South African flame-grilled chicken chain that has spread across the globe. I first heard of it visiting Oxford a few years ago – pretty much anything chicken-related will pique my interest – but didn’t get a chance to try its famous peri-peri chicken until a month ago during a visit to Washington, D.C., which is home to a few of these restaurants. (It’s branded Nando’s Peri Peri here in the States.) I loved the tangy and sweet flav

    Recipe: Coconut Lime Chicken

    Did you ever cook something that required only HALF a can of coconut milk? Annoying. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve scrambled to figure out what to do with the other half of that can. Use it to frost a carrot cake? Uh, sure. Whip up a mini Thai curry? Been there, done that. This chicken is the perfect solution when you don’t feel like baking or simmering a stew. I have to say, when I first made this dish a few years ago, I did not purposefully set out to replicate the t

    Recipe: Lime-n-Thyme Chicken (Or How I Perfected the Roast)

    I once heard that you can tell a great chef by how well he or she can prepare a simple roast chicken. It’s always fun to play around with haute ingredients, global influences, and esoteric spices, but if you can’t master the simplicity of a crisp-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside roast, then you’re toast. You guys, I think I’ve done it. To be fair, I had some help from this NYT recipe for “Garlic and Thyme Chicken,” but after a few attempts, many edits, and a little bit of
