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.

"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. "
