American Chicken Recipes

American cooking is a melting pot of comfort food — from slow-smoked barbecue to skillet classics, big on bold, crowd-pleasing flavour. When American cooks work with chicken, they reach for butter, smoked paprika, brown sugar, mustard, hot sauce and good stock, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, frying, boiling and steaming.

The world's most-cooked protein — mild, lean and endlessly adaptable to almost any spice profile or cooking method. In this collection it's most often cooked with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, celery and all-purpose flour. The dishes here span american classics ready in as little as 30 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
