chicken in pot
Lemon chicken with potatoes
With a whole roasted chicken, you spread Sunday cheer to the table – without having to spend an entire Sunday in the kitchen. Five recipes we particularly love.
“I want every farmer to have a chicken in the pot on Sundays,” said Heinrich IV. Today, chicken (ready-to-cook and sustainably raised) is hard to come by—but many people shy away from preparing a whole bird. That’s a shame, because the golden-brown roast chicken, or the aroma of herbs or garlic in the center of the table is really what sets the mood for Sunday — even on Tuesday night.
Chicken with lemon from the oven
Lemon, herbs, potatoes – with this recipe, the side dish is already cooked. Lemon chicken is the kind of classic recipe that, after a few tries, you’ll do without much thought—and write on a recipe card for your kids when they leave.
Orange glazed chicken from the oven
If you want to be a little faster, using poultry shears to remove the spines will help (it’s easier than it sounds). Then the whole chicken can be spread out and cooked evenly. We made it with an orange and cranberry glaze.
Grilled chicken with gin and pear slaw
This is what autumn looks like on a plate: grilled chicken cooked with pears and thyme in the oven. The slaw spirit is used in the sauce.
Fried chicken rillette with apple and onion
Almost perfect for using up leftover chicken, this French recipe works from snacks to appetizers. It is also worth putting a very large chicken or extra thighs in the oven to prepare it.

Spicy chicken soup with udon noodles
