Just Chicken

The Best of Soul Food Cooking

For more than a decade, I’ve shared soul food and Southern comfort food recipes with home cooks through Soul Food Cooking. Just Chicken brings together 59 of my most trusted chicken recipes in one complete collection.

I wrote this book for anyone who cooks chicken often and wants new ways to prepare it with confidence. The recipes are organized into six chapters covering wings, fried chicken and sandwiches, Southern classics, takeout favorites, baked and slow-cooked dishes, and soups, skillets and casseroles.

Each recipe includes a full-color photograph, prep and cook times, a clear ingredient list and step-by-step directions. I’ve also included my own tips with every recipe, covering the details that make a dish succeed, ideas for variations and serving, and guidance on making ahead and storing. A food safety guide is included to help you handle and cook chicken properly.

My goal with Just Chicken is to give you a dependable collection of recipes you’ll return to again and again.
