Book Description

In the original Joy of Cooking, Irma Rombauer wrote, "The chicken is a world citizen." Those words of wisdom have certainly withstood the test of time. They may even be truer today than they were in 1931. The draw of chicken is obvious: it's
low fat, inexpensive, and easy to prepare--yet it can also be so... dull. As the star of its own volume in Joy's All About series, it truly shines.
Adapted from The Joy of Cooking and coauthored by Rombauer, her daughter Marion Rombauer Becker,
and her grandson Ethan Becker, this volume upholds Joy's long-standing tradition of teaching generations of Americans to cook. In the same conversational yet instructional tone that made the original Joy such a favorite, the authors cover everything a
cook needs to know to become a master of chicken.
Like the other editions of Joy, this one provides plenty of time-tested recipes for classic standbys as well as an inspirational array of recipes for more exotic fare to encourage readers to
experiment and find new favorites. For a casual family supper, you can't go wrong with Baked Chicken with Onions, Garlic, and Rosemary or Chicken and Dumplings. For more elegant occasions, the flavorful Gorgonzola-Stuffed Chicken Breasts or buttery
Chicken Kiev fit the bill. Those who are calorie-conscious will revel in dishes like the succulent Sautéed Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts with Tomatoes, Capers, and Basil or the delightfully tangy Sautéed Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast with
Balsamic Citrus Sauce. More adventurous eaters will find satisfaction in dishes like Doro Wat (Ethiopian-style chicken in red pepper sauce), Spicy Chicken Hobo Pack with Lime and Chili Peppers, and Baked Chicken with Chili-Garlic Spice Paste. Full-color
photographs depict finished dishes and offer step-by-step illustrations.
A section on stuffings, a chapter on flavor enhancers--marinades, sauces, and spice rubs--and tips on buying, storing, and freezing chicken make this book is an indispensable
guide for serving chicken for every occasion. --Robin Donovan

Sixty years after Irma Rombauer advised new cooks to
"Stand facing the stove," America's love affair with Joy of Cooking continues unabated. And why not? Joy in hand, tens of millions of people -- from novices to professionals -- have learned to do everything from make a meat loaf to clean a squid to frost
