This is your basic chicken cookbook. The first part focuses on tools, how-to tips for cutting up whole chicken, etc. It takes awhile before you get to what I come for, the recipes. Most were pretty basic ones that I have seen in other cookbooks but I appreciate the new take on some of the recipes. It is nice to have the basics in one spot but not likely a book that I will use over and over again.

I think Chicken in one of my favorite dishes to make for my family. Lots of great recipes here that are worth taking a look at and adding to your cooking rotation.

Did not care for this cookbook. No too many appealing recipes. Alot of information before recipes are listed. Expected more.

Really enjoyed this cookbook. Was great to do so many different dishes with chicken rather than just curry and casserole.
This will keep your taste buds buzzing.

What an awesome cookbook! It’s full of useful information such as how to cut up a whole chicken yourself (which is so much cheaper then buying a cut up chicken) and everyday recipes for busy people with families. The recipes range from a chicken sandwich to Indian butter checked to chicken salad. I personally cannot wait to make some of these recipes.

If you love chicken and are looking for a cookbook with a wide range of recipes and flavors then buy this one!

This cookbook was AMAZING! I learned so many new dishes that I've never prepared before. I really liked how detailed the recipes were and some of these are a family favorite and in heavy rotation at our house! I'd love to see more by Stacie in the future.

I love this cookbook! Great recipes and super helpful tips. I would definitely recommend this cookbook. My favorite is the sheet pan shawarma. Delicious! I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

This is a great book! So many recipes and they all sound so delicious! The layout is done perfectly. The recipes, the steps (which are easy to follow) and a picture of the food (always my favorite part).

I received an ARC from Storey Publishing, via NetGalley. This review is my opinion.

I love chicken, but I must say this book takes chicken to a whole new level. With many important tips and information at the beginning and with new and known recipes. This book is definitely a winner, I like that the recipes are easy to follow, with a lovely picture and we also find tips on what to do and what not to do. If you like chicken and want to learn a new way of how to cook, this book is a great choice for you!

Very tasty chicken dishes with a new spin on some old recipes. I'm a home cook and I found these fairly easy to follow with no crazy ingredients needed. My family has even picked out some that they want me to try!

This is a good easy to follow chicken cookbook. I especially like it for those time when I am tired of my normal recipes and want to try something different. There are no really out there ingredients that you will never use again, I almost always had them in my pantry already.

With this cookbook on your kitchen counter, you’ll prepare delicious chicken suppers with confidence and ease. Author Stacie Billis’ light, funny, and instructional tone takes the intimidation factor out of working with chicken, whether you’re breaking down a bird or roasting it whole.
This was a good book that inspires many interesting and tasty options when it comes to chicken. I recommend for anyone who likes recipes and likes to cook.

Chicken is such a versatile meat with endless possibilities but sometimes we get stuck in a rut. Not anymore! Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner has over 50 different chicken recipes from all different types of cuisine that can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, fried or in a pot. The photos are great and I liked the colourful pages with clear step by step recipes. There is even information on how to prepare your chicken. Such a handy cookbook for anyone who loves chicken.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and Storey Publishing for this complimentary eARC copy.

This book was actually a surprise to me. It contained chicken recipes I had not heard of. I especially liked the Greek ones. It’s great to learn different dishes from around the world. Some of the best dishes are ones from grandmas kitchen.The step by step instructions are easy to follow and a picture is included with each recipe.
Go ahead and try some of the recipes!

4☆ A Delicious and Informative Chicken Lovers Cookbook

If you love Chicken or want to experiment more with different types of chicken recipes then this book is definitely for you!

It Tells you about the different cuts of meat on a chicken and the best meat for the recipe you need ie, thigh, breast, whole
All About food safety and handling of chicken which is so important.
Also.... Do Not Wash Chicken!!
The amount of recipes I've see telling you to wash chicken it's so so dangerous!

There is also a nice breakdown of kitchen utensils to use, with lovely pictures added.

I did like that they included a step by step guide with pictures on how to cut up a whole chicken. Which is particularly useful so you can get the most value from the chicken effectively.

Part 3 is the juicy bit, all kinds of recipes.
It's worth noting that all recipes are in tablespoons and cup sizes. Which is ok if you have them and a bit of a faff if you need to convert.
* But I must add that they have included a Metric Conversion at the back of the book which does need a lil working out *

Each recipe has a list of ingredients, a step by step method and cooks notes then a photo of the finished product, which I like as at least you can see what you're aiming for.

The ingredients are pretty easy to get hold of and alot are store cupboard ingredients like spices and herbs, oil, butter, garlic etc..

All the photos are a lil mouthwatering so be prepared to be a bit hungry after reading it.

Ok now a few examples of the recipes

* All Purpose Sauces
- Tzatziki
- Chimichurri
- Lebanese Garlic Sauce
- Zingy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Recipes
- Baked Cacio e Pepe Chicken Tenders (not fried)
- Sheet Pan Shawarma
- Sheet Pan Fajitas
- Caprese Sheet Pan Chicken
- Chicken Thighs with Maple Cider vinegar Glaze and Fennel - Apple Slaw
- Chicken Saltimbocca
- Five Spice Cutlets with Asian Cabbage Slaw
- Basil Children and Vegetable Stir - fry
- Chicken with Mushrooms in a Sherry Cream Sauce
- Chicken Paprikash
- Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
- Chicken Stock
- Chicken Laarb
- Chicken Thigh Ragu
- Fried Chicken Sandwich
- Butter Chicken
Jerk Chicken
- BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Leftover Chicken Pot Pie

* Easy Marinade
- Honey Mustard
- Lemony - Oregano
- Orange - Chipotle
- Raunch

So as you can see a real mixed bunch of scrumptious dishes.
This is not just a cookbook but it's also Educational and Informative with lovely pictures to give guidance.
I can't wait to try some of the delicious recipes out.
Enjoy!

The perfect cookbook for lockdown cooking. As we can’t eat out at the moment, or have takeaways delivered we are having to cook for ourselves a lot more than normal. We enjoy chicken but were running out of new ways to serve it up. This lovely book solved the problem. Clear instructions meant I was willing to have a go at spatchcocking a bird and found it much easier than I ever thought. Although aimed at an American audience most of the book is just as relevant here in the UK.
