Chicken and Corn Summer Chowder

by Malcolm Bedell June 29, 2012

The lure of a supermarket rotisserie chicken can be strong, particularly in the Summer, when the temperature rises. They’re inexpensive (at around seven bucks), they’re easy to prepare (once you open the box) and best of all, they allow you to put a reasonably nutritious dinner on the table without heating the whole kitchen up, [...]

Chicken in Chipotle Cream Sauce

by Jillian Bedell May 15, 2012

As holidays of dubious historical significance that serve as little more than an excuse for copious daytime imbibing, Cinco de Mayo is my second least favorite. I prefer daytime drinking that is forthright and without (much) pretense. (One must have a little pretense, or else they take you to Promises). Appropriate situations include: baseball games, company [...]

Chicken Tikka Masala

by Malcolm Bedell May 2, 2012

Bangers and mash? Fish and chips? Nah. The most popular takeout dish in Britain continues to be chicken tikka masala, baked or broiled chicken “tikka” marinated in yogurt and a “mix of spices” (or masala), flavored in a smoky and subtly spicy, creamy tomato sauce. Legend has it that the dish was first created by [...]

Hacienda Pancho Villa

by Malcolm Bedell April 5, 2012

As we sat munching on a basket of piping hot corn tortilla chips, still shimmering from the oil bath they had received only moments before, we tried to figure out exactly why sitting in one of the booths in the back of the restaurant felt exactly like being in Mexico. Hacienda Pancho Villa doesn’t go [...]

Nashville Hot Chicken

by Malcolm Bedell April 3, 2012

Is the “Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich” from Wendy’s not enough to get your heart racing anymore? Have you beaten every hot Buffalo wing eating contest in town? It’s time to graduate to “Hot Chicken,” the regional fried chicken specialty from Nashville, TN. Traditionally served on a few slices of white bread, with a sliced sour [...]

America! Presents: FlatJacks™ Chicken Snacks (Original Flavor)

by Malcolm Bedell March 6, 2012

It’s rare that a product stops me dead in my tracks, when I am taking my near-daily slow stroll down the frozen food aisle of our supermarket. Today, though, tucked away on the bottom shelf, in an area normally reserved for three-for-a-dollar frozen burritos, underneath the chicken nuggets and the pre-packaged buffalo wings, the bright [...]

How to Spatchcock a Chicken

by Jillian Bedell February 15, 2012

Snipping out the backbone of a chicken was not as difficult as I had imagined it would be. Be firm and decisive in your cuts and it should come out rather neatly. The practice of spatchcocking is really nothing more than butterflying, from what I understand. And while the etymology of the word is up for [...]

Cozy Chicken Pie

by Jillian Bedell January 31, 2012

There’s no getting around it. It’s February in Maine. Cold, bleak, and slushy. We desperately need comfort foods like cozy chicken pie. This recipe is sort of a hybrid. It is neither a shepherd’s pie nor a pot pie – neither, or, is it both? I hope you like it. Definitely use chicken thighs and [...]

How To Roast a Chicken

by Jillian Bedell January 24, 2012

Roasting a chicken is one of my skills, but the truth is it couldn’t be simpler. I will henceforth disclose the method I have settled on, which includes aromatics, salt, butter, and little else. Now that I’m sharing this recipe – which, for years was the only thing I really cooked well – all I have [...]

Today’s Sandwich: “Chicken Nacho” Grilled Cheese [Homemade]

by Malcolm Bedell January 12, 2012

Today’s sandwich is the “Chicken Nacho” Grilled Cheese. It combines shredded chicken, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, and marble jack cheese on sourdough bread. Notes: We’re getting buried under our first major snow of the season, which derailed my plans to, I dunno, go outside to buy a sandwich. I was forced to make do with what [...]
