A simple marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbes de Provence makes roasted chicken you’ll happily make again. Recipe below.
“WE’LL DO SOMETHING WITH IT.” We say this pretty much every time we’re grocery shopping, throwing some “it” into the cart without any clear meal or recipe in mind. As often as not, that “it” is a package of chicken thighs. This recipe was born of just such a shopping moment, and it’s so delicious and easy we’ve already made it three times.

Tomatillos add tanginess to this satisfying, slightly spicy braise/stew. Recipe below.
THE FRIDGE WAS SUDDENLY FULL OF THINGS NEEDING TO BE USED. There were habaneros from our garden, for instance. Impulse-bought tomatillos. Chicken thighs and cilantro not getting any fresher. Likewise bacon. At times like this, curiosity can be a valuable trait. Continue reading “A full fridge, curiosity and a little improvising: Tomatillo Chicken”
A simple marinade of lemon, olive oil, garlic and tarragon creates simply delicious grilled chicken. Recipe below.
LEMONS HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF ACTION IN OUR KITCHEN LATELY. And for good reason: they add a summery brightness to all sorts of dishes. Sometimes, it’s the star—as it was in my Lemon Parsley Pasta. Sometimes, it’s subtle, as with Marion’s Peach Cobbler last week. And sometimes, as it is in this grilled chicken, it is almost invisible, adding to the startling deliciousness without announcing itself at all.

We use white miso paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil not to create an authentic Asian dish, but to deliver big savory flavor to roasted chicken thighs. Recipe below.
WE’RE BIG FANS OF USING INGREDIENTS IN UNINTENDED WAYS. Recently, Marion used miso paste, a traditional Japanese seasoning, to add an umami twist to banana bread. Here, a host of Asian ingredients create big flavor without nodding to any specific cuisine. Continue reading “Asian ingredients bring umami to not-necessarily-Asian Roast Chicken with Miso Glaze”
Chicken thighs are started on the stovetop, then finished in the oven with potatoes and green beans. Recipe below.
WE HAVE NOW COOKED THIS MEAL three times in less than a month. Not trying to tweak the recipe as we sometimes do here, but simply because we wanted to eat it again. Of course, being one-pan easy to make didn’t hurt its chances of being put on repeat. Continue reading “A one-pan meal you’ll put on repeat: Roasted Chicken, Potatoes and Green Beans”
A curry sauce made of onions, garlic, ginger, mango and coconut milk is the base for the delicious Burmese chicken dish. Recipe below.
BURMESE RESTAURANTS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN in the United States. So when boredom-inspired antiquing sent us out to the western suburbs last weekend, we knew we would be visiting Pa Lian. Continue reading “Exploring an underknown cuisine: Burmese Mango Chicken”
