If there’s one thing I’ve learned working for a food site, it’s that food media can be defined by eras. We all saw (and probably enjoyed) the era of hyper-complicated Instagram showpieces (yes, those 7,823-step recipes, did anyone make this chocolate watch, by chance?), the great sourdough boom and, most recently, the high-protein frenzy. But through all the trends and fads, one thing about The Nosher community has never changed: You really, truly love chicken.
We’re talking all kinds of chicken—nostalgic recipes passed down from loved ones, quick weeknight chicken for busy evenings, beautifully roasted Shabbat chicken, one-pan wonders, golden fried chicken schnitzel and, of course, chicken soup. (Once, a reader even left a comment swearing by one very specific type of chicken as the only choice for making soup — also known as a soup chicken.)
And it’s not just our readers — Americans, in general, can’t get enough. The Chicken Check-In blog devoted an entire post to why chicken consistently wins over other proteins, and earlier this year, The New York Times explored the many health angles of the bird.
We’ve celebrated the chicken before with a roundup of 26 favorite chicken recipes, but we know you’re always hungry for more. So, in the spirit of giving the people what they want, we’ve pulled together a fresh collection — a whopping 30 recipes to ensure a winning dinner.
