I love how chicken is an open slate when it comes to ways for infusing it with ridiculously good flavor. Sure, salt and pepper make a bird taste lovely, but big and bold ingredients turn your basic roast into something so much more. And these recipes seriously deliver. We're talking sweet-and-sticky thighs, fiery chicken wing nachos, and double-garlic drumsticks. Drooling? Yeah.
A whole chicken just seems so decadent, but it's actually easy to make. Creating a layer of lemon for the paprika-rubbed bird infuses it with so much flavor.
These crispy chicken thighs are coated with a honey-garlic sauce that's ridiculous good. Hints of soy and hoisin and then the bright bite of green onion turn this into your new favorite home-cooked recipe.
Garlic on top of garlic is what makes this recipe so delicious. Coat the drumsticks in garlic salt before roasting, then a garlic-studded marsala sauce finishes the dish.
French onion soup is one of my favorite recipes, and this spin that uses crispy chicken breasts as the base is so darn good.
Chicken wings meet nachos in this appetizer that's potentially the most unique spin on game-day eats. Top the baked wings with a homemade cheese sauce and all our favorite fixings.
