The Chicken Bible: Say Goodbye to Boring Chicken with 500 Recipes for Easy Dinners, Braises, Wings, Stir-Fries, and So Much More

This cookbook offers straight-forward, easy-to-follow recipes & photos on every page! It is jam packed with recipes you can actually make - no "filler" recipes just to take up space. AND the ingredients are available in the grocery store. AND there are no super fancy techniques to intimidate you. As someone who isn't terribly confident in the kitchen, this is a cookbook I actually use. This book came with a somewhat hefty price tag, but I am so glad I splurged! I recommend to new or experienced cooks.

To start with this book weights a ton, I'm not kidding. I have R/A and I can't hold it, couldn't get it out of the Amazon box it came in. It shows you the different parts of the chicken, how to cook them, the best way to cook them and so much more. Photos are good, but print is small. I'm not what you would call a real cook, but I'm sure there will be plenty of recipes I will be able to follow to make some good chicken dinners. Absolutely worth the price. This would make a nice gift for a new bride or anyone that eats chicken a lot. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is a great collection of recipes. I’ve made only a handful of them so far, but they turned out perfectly delicious which is really the most important thing. Although not every recipe has a picture, enough do to make the book fun to go through cover-to-cover, and they are gorgeous pictures. There is a ton of variety for every taste, and I was happy to see a good number of turkey recipes. I had been a little concerned about the reviews mentioning small/light print, but my copy is perfectly fine. Cons: I wasn’t able to find every recipe I liked on the ATK app, which would’ve been helpful to me (and worth the fairly pricey subscription price) if I would’ve been able to meal plan & create a grocery list with my favorite recipes. But I have to point out that this is only a con because I already have way too many of the recipes in the book bookmarked with post-its for that method to be very workable! Also, yet another book/video/anything failed to help me butcher a whole chicken. That’s not the con though- the real con is that the already butchered, packaged chicken parts in my grocery store are HUGE - often one boneless, skinless chicken breast half weighs a full pound or more! I am able to get the sizes of chicken parts in this book from whole chickens (with bonus parts for stock-making, of which this book has several recipes/methods for), but what takes a real chef 5 minutes to do takes me a half hour. So, it can be a challenge getting the right sizes (and often the gigantor chicken pieces are tougher). If you, too, can only get appropriately sized chickens by buying whole, have an expert teach you how to take them apart (and have the right tools for doing so). Otherwise, pay close attention to weights and don’t count on the chicken piece weight ranges given in the book will correspond to what you find at your local supermarket. Honestly my supermarket makes me terrified of coming across a monster chicken in the wild.

In the era of google and the internet, I've stopped purchasing books with recipes, just doesn't make much sense any more. But I love this book. It provides practical advise with practical recipes that I find myself going back to again and again. It is very comprehensive, well laid out, and informative. I highly suggest this book to those who enjoy cooking chicken - the whole chicken.

Needed this because I have alpha gal... Which is an allergy to red meat. There are some recipes I can't use or have to sub. But I needed new ideas for chicken dishes.
