Today, Bon Appétit meets chefs Lucas Sin and Eric Sze just outside Taipei to taste some of Taiwan’s best clay-oven-roasted chicken. Using a time-honored vertical spit roasting technique and only a simple salt seasoning, these chickens are slowly cooked to achieve that perfect golden crisp. The result? Juicy, flavorful chicken with irresistibly crispy skin, served whole and ready to be devoured with your hands.
Join Melissa Miranda as she makes Chicken Afritada. This tomato-based Filipino stew marries hearty vegetables, peas, and olives with tender chicken thighs.

The traditional stuffed pork roast is so delicious but so laborious. This chicken has all the same garlicky, herby flavors—not to mention lots of crispy bacon bits—and it’s optimized for a weeknight meal.
Roast chicken is the perfect dish for a crowd. Contributing Editor Allison Roman recommends slow-roasting with fennel and fingerling potatoes. Castelvetrano olives and oranges add a slightly briny and bright citrus flavor.

"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. "

Join Molly Baz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes roast chicken and potatoes.This isn’t the crisp-skinned, high-heat roast chicken you’re probably familiar with. Instead, it’s a melt-in-your-mouth tender, schmaltzy, slow-roast version that’s more similar to rotisserie chicken—except (bonus!) it gets slathered in the funky-spicy-sweet gochujang.
