For those of you who grew up cooking entire whole chickens in the microwave, do we have news for you! There are actually other ways to cook a whole chicken. Many other ways! Did you know you can cook chickens in the oven or even on the grill? Or you can even take a hair dryer to it and blast that bird for a while. If you're interested watch this video and allow Amiel Stanek to teach you almost every way to cook a whole chicken.
By butchering your own meat, you can save money and make more interesting dishes. Chef Chad Colby of Chi Spacca in LA shows Kitchen Lab host Jimmy Wong how to be a butcher by quartering a whole chicken.
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.
Starting the chicken skin side down in a cold skillet lets the fat render slowly and results in the crispiest skin imaginable. It also yields a pan of flavorful schmaltz, aka liquid gold.

Join Rawlston Williams in his home kitchen as he makes stewed chicken and breadfruit. This stewed chicken recipe ideally uses a yardbird (a free-range chicken) marinated in a mixture of spices, including ginger, bay leaves, culantro, broadleaf thyme, gochujang and more. Rawlston prepares the breadfruit three ways; roasted, steamed and fried. You really can't go wrong with any of these methods.

Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's best lasagna. Why in the world would we tell you to make meatballs, brown them, and then break them into pieces—for a ragù? Sounds crazy, but it’s the best way we found to sear a big batch of meat without overcooking it.
From a single pig to eight delicious creations–butcher John Ratliff of Ends Meat joins Bon Appétit to demonstrate the full transformation of pork through nose-to-tail butchery. Watch as one pig becomes bacon, hot dogs, dry-aged pork chops, ham, coppa, guanciale, salami, and terrine, through centuries-old techniques of curing, smoking, and fermentation.
If you’re looking for reasons to spatchcock a turkey this Thanksgiving, ask yourself these simple questions: Do you want the bird to actually taste good? And be juicy? With perfectly browned skin? Of course you do. This method, which disposes of the backbone so the bird can be flattened and cooked skin side up, is a game changer.
