Sambal chicken and roast aubergine: Nik Sharma’s recipes with fish sauce | Food

By Amanda M. Rye 11 months ago

Of all the condiments in my fridge, fish sauce occupies a special place in my heart. Its brilliant ability to bump up the umami in a dish is remarkable, and what I love most is that a few drops go a long way. This week, it forms the basis of a spicy marinade for chicken and the sauce for roast aubergine and corn.

3 marinades to spice up your chicken thighs [Recipes} | Food

By Amanda M. Rye 12 months ago

If you asked the 7-year-old me back in 1973, my favorite thing to eat in the whole wide world was the two-piece fried chicken dinner from Roy Rogers (it’s where I had my birthday party that year).

My mom was a member of the white meat-only club, which means I didn’t get to know the mysterious chicken thigh until I went to college. I could hardly believe it when I got my hands on my first chicken thigh; it actually tasted like chicken! I never turned back.

Easy Grilled Chicken Recipes – The New York Times

By Amanda M. Rye 1 year ago

Chicken is easily the most searched for ingredient on New York Times Cooking, and it stands to reason: It’s economical, it’s widely available, it’s better for the climate than other meats. And it’s endlessly adaptable, a blank canvas for all sorts of preparations and vibrant, delicious seasonings. In the cold weather months, that means cozy soups, braises and burnished roasts.
