Baked Chicken Thighs with Lemon Pickles
Preserved lemons, a/k/a lemon pickles, are a delicious and unique treat that have long delivered a ton of salty and acidic crunch to the cuisines of North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia…and to America, too, in recent years. Typically, there are two ways for us to opt…
Chicken Paillard with Date Butter
Note: I have called for regular boneless skinless chicken breasts but if you can find thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts you will not need to halve them horizontally; you will just need to pound them. Also, this makes more butter than you will need for the recipe, but keep…

White Chicken Chili
There is one good reason—other than chicken and chilies—why I love the white chicken chili on the menu at the burrito palace in our neighborhood: sour cream. This quick-to-make home version is delicious unadorned. Add the accompaniments and some homemade or store-bought cornbread and it is over the top. Makes…
Very Very Crispy Chicken Thighs
This is a loose technique recipe. You can make 2 chicken thighs or 8 chicken thighs following these instructions and then top the thighs with a sauce of your choice or no sauce at all, perhaps just a squeeze of lemon. Skin on, bone in chicken thighs Kosher salt Freshly…
