A perfect Peking Duck is maroon in color, with crispy skin encasing juicy, tender meat— and Han Li-Jun, founder and head chef of Chili House in San Francisco, has been in the craft of making it for 3 decades. Watch him break down each step in the intricate process, as demonstrated by his collaborator Chef Han, in serving authentic and traditional Peking Duck.
Join Chrissy Tracey as she makes vegan meatballs with a Marcella Hazan inspired tomato sauce. This recipe was actually inspired by Chris Morocco's (non-vegan) meatball recipe. Instead of using beef, Chrissy uses lentils as the mainframe of the meatball, mixed with oat milk-soaked bread. The oat milk adds a little more fat content to the recipe, giving the meatballs a much fuller taste.
Bon Appétit joins Lucas Sin at Sun Kwai Heung in Hong Kong to try their Chinese BBQ pork called Char Siu. This Cantonese dish is famous for its delicious smoky glaze and is a staple in Chinese cooking.
Join Bon Appétit associate food editor and chef Rachel Gurjar as she makes grilled boneless chicken breasts in a "tadka-ish" scallion sauce. Skin-on, boneless breasts are ideal for grilling since they cook faster, are easier to carve than bone-in, and the skin protects the delicate cut from the heat.
Join pastry chef Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Cadbury Creme Eggs. These are the only eggs that rabbits are known to lay (at least that's what Cadbury commercials tell us). However, Claire will try to make these Easter classics without the aid of a bunny.

Loving meatballs has never been this rewarding. They’re gilded with lots of strong spices and set in a cooling swoosh of yogurt and anointed with the sweet brightness of a mint pesto. Sound fancy? Not really. We use ground lamb, which is naturally fatty and can be baked without sacrificing juiciness or a charred crust.

We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster Chris Morocco to recreate Emeril Lagasse's Chicken Cordon Bleu in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He'll have to identify what he's making with a blindfold over his eyes, letting each of his other senses guide the way.
Join Melissa Miranda as she makes Chicken Afritada. This tomato-based Filipino stew marries hearty vegetables, peas, and olives with tender chicken thighs.

One dish. Two days. We challenged super taster Chris Morocco to blindly taste a dish made by Christina and then reverse engineer it as closely to the original as he can. The challenge this episode: Maangchi's Dakbokkeumtang (Korean spicy braised chicken).
Bon Appétit joins Lucas Sin in Hong Kong to try whole-roasted goose, a cornerstone of Cantonese cuisine. The birds are flavored from the inside out and cooked over charcoal to achieve perfect juicy meat encased in crispy skin.
"Chicken adobo was a staple at my dinner table," says food editor Amelia Rampe. My dad's recipe uses the whole chicken and it's brothier, with equal parts soy and vinegar and with onion instead of garlic. But hey, all of them are right because no matter how you've prepared your adobo, there's really no messing it up. That amazing fusion of soy, vinegar, garlic, and pepper in every version is a winning formula. "
