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. To amplify the flavors and keep the chicken skin crispy, Melissa roasts the chicken separately from the veg, reuniting them just before plating.

We're taking chicken questions here! Chicken may be one of the most standard foods in America, but that doesn't mean it's always easy to make. Well, Brad, Carla, Gaby, Molly, Andy, Chris, Priya and Amiel are here to answer 13 of your burning chicken questions (and to hopefully help you not burn your chicken).
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.
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.

It's Alive with Brad Leone is back for episode 82 and this time he's making fermented peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. This nut butter uses both peanuts and pecans that ya roast in the oven first. But be advised: don't go walking Hank the dog while they're in the oven, because they'll go from nice, fragrant and beautiful to scorched real fast. The jelly is a raspberry, blackberry and blueberry mix that you ferment until they're good and rotten (in a safe way).
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.
Kendra Vaculin has fond memories of mall restaurants as a child of suburbia. If you too believe the BBQ chicken pizza at California Pizza Kitchen is a perfect food, this vegetarian version with mushrooms is going to be a godsend.

Join Basically editor Amiel Stanek as he attempts to cook chicken breast in almost every way possible. Which method is the best? Deep-fried? Coal-cooked? Microwaved? Well, it's definitely not microwaved.
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 Carla Lalli Music in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes 30 minute skillet chicken. Butterflying and flattening the bird might feel like chicken chiropractory, but it’s all in the name of crisp golden chicken skin, and what more noble cause could there be?
