Family chicken dinners: crispy, creamy, roasted, and practical. 17 recipes in this guide.
Boneless pieces are suited to quick skillets and sheet pans, while bone-in thighs, drumsticks, and whole birds need more time. Slow-cooker recipes are useful for shreddable meat, and casseroles help combine cooked chicken with pasta, vegetables, or sauce.
Chicken must reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest point. Check early, especially with breast meat, and rest it before slicing. When pieces differ in size, cut them evenly or remove smaller pieces first so the entire batch does not dry out.
