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.
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.

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 fans of simple baked sweet potatoes in a multitude of dishes. These get the “loaded potato” treatment with roasted chickpeas, broccoli, and crumbled feta finished with a drizzle of tangy yogurt sauce made with the signature flavor of Cholula® Original Hot Sauce for just enough heat.
Crispy, cheesy, bacon-y—they're an irresistible Super Bowl snack. So irresistible, in fact, that you may want to make a double batch of this potato skins recipe.
Bon Appétit joins Chef Eli Sussman, executive chef at Gertrude’s in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, to make their delicious Latkes. Eli breaks down every step of the process, from choosing the right potatoes to mastering moisture removal, adding the perfect binders, and frying to golden-brown perfection. Perfect for Hanukkah or any time you’re craving crispy potato pancakes, these latkes bring restaurant technique to a classic holiday staple.
Almost everyone has a preferred way to cook and eat potatoes, one of the most versatile ingredients a chef could ask for. On today’s Chef Notes our panel of 6 pros make their favorite potato recipes, from crispy smashed potatoes and potato chips to a salade Niçoise and hearty potato pierogi.
Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes chicken soup with sweet potatoes! If you want this take on classic chicken soup to have a similar consistency to congee, add 10–15 minutes to the cooking time so that it can become nice and thick.

Contributing food editor Alison Roman demonstrates how to make a delicious slow roasted chicken on a bed of mushrooms in a skillet. Punchy, spicy greens pair nicely with this dish.
Our incredibly simple method for dredging this crispy fried chicken (no brine! no seasoned flour! no dipping!) is based on kara-age, or Japanese fried chicken. Take our tip for frying and use a high-sided vessel like a Dutch oven to avoid any obnoxious splatter.
Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes Neapolitan chicken. The famous Neapolitan tomato sauce—packed with olives, garlic, capers, and anchovies—is traditionally paired with long pasta. In our version, chicken legs are gently oven-braised in the puttanesca until it's nearly falling off the bone. It’s a low-maintenance, one-skillet dish that is easy to pull off on a weeknight.

Join Gaby in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she makes Tortilla de Papas. Salting the potatoes ahead of time draws out some of their liquid and guarantees they’re well seasoned, but skip this step if you want some of that moisture when you take a bite!

Join Chris Morocco in his home kitchen as he makes potato rosti. Shredding and squeezing out potatoes, just like when making latkes, helps create a supremely crisp rosti that serves as a base for eggs and dressed greens. An oven finish means there’s no flipping required, keeping this dish nice and simple.
Chris Morocco spent two entire days frying chicken in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen—but came away with the perfect crispy fried chicken sandwich recipe.
