and chicken

The time has come: We’re revisiting the roast chicken deep dive, this time with two different methods. If you’re hosting a vegetarian feast instead, find your fave recipes over here.

Making chicken or turkey can—and probably does—sound very intimidating, especially if you’re hosting for the first time. It doesn’t have to be!!

And if you aren’t hosting a big crowd for Thanksgiving…consider making chicken instead. Everyone prefers chicken, right? Start dropping hints now. (I’m already trying to convince my parents to go to Chinese.)

Here’s everything you’ll learn in today’s deep dive:

• What tools you need to cook poultry

• My favorite chicken recipes

• My kid’s favorite turkey recipe (it won’t drive you crazy on Thanksgiving)

• What to make with leftovers
