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.
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.
Intimidated by carving the big bird? Get ready to exercise your hands and knife skills, because Chris Morocco is going to show us the best tips to make this dinner fly!
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?

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.
