"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. "

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.

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.

Harold Villarosa, like many of us, grew up eating General Tso's chicken. It's a takeout staple that you've probably ordered at some point. We challenged Harold to make his own General Tso's chicken with fried rice faster than it takes for delivery to arrive. Was he up to the challenge?
Looking for a way to support restaurants and cook at home? Do as Harold does in this new video and take on takeout: order your personal favorite delivery dishes and try to cook them at home in the same time it takes for them to arrive. You’ll be putting money into the restaurant industry, challenging yourself, and you'll have double the food. See if Harold, who grew up eating General Tso’s chicken at countless Chinese-American spots in The Bronx, can create a version similar to the takeout one.
