Best Chicken Recipes

Chicken is the most versatile meat you can find. The best chicken recipes might be served with a sauce, cooked on a grill, ground and made into meatballs, baked or cooked in a skillet.  It could be roasted, or cooked in a slow cooker or instant pot.

With so many ways to cook chicken, if you need some guidance I’ll provide lots of tips and tricks to give you the best tender and juicy chicken recipes for dinner.

Are you having friends over to watch the big game, then you’ll need some chicken wing inspiration, try some marinated in tequila or covered in a homemade buffalo sauce. Or try a pulled chicken recipe that’s even better than pork.

If you’re looking for some quick chicken recipes for your next cookout, I’ve got you covered whether you want drumsticks or kabobs. Short on time, then you’ll love this easy chicken dinner cooked with queso or chicken coated in Ritz crackers.  Serve it with a fresh broccoli salad and you've got a great weeknight meal.

There’s nothing more delicious than the flavor of chicken thighs. They’re even better when first seared on the stove and then placed in the oven with potatoes, dates and lemons, or grapes and olives.

Chicken is fabulous when Tex-Mex seasoning is added especially in this one pot chicken and rice recipe or try these super easy enchiladas using rotisserie chicken. A Tex-Mex meal wouldn’t be complete without some spicy quesadillas.

With over 50 chicken dinner ideas to choose from, I’m sure you’ll find a chicken recipe that you’ll love to make, maybe it will be chicken marsala or crispy chicken tenders.
