Black & White Garlic Chicken

Inspired by the classic 40 Clove Chicken, this amazing slow-cooked casserole of falling-off-the-bone, garlic-scented chicken is worth the wait. Yes, we actually used 40 cloves of garlic in this dish – 20 cloves of regular, every day fresh garlic and 20 of the startlingly ebony-colored black garlic. In case you’re unfamiliar with the stuff, black garlic is not a new strain of garlic; it’s created by fermenting whole heads of normal garlic in a carefully controlled environment of heat and …

Grilled Balsamic Chicken Wings

  The genius of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There are really only two important ingredients here: chicken wings and balsamic vinegar. There are a couple of caveats, however: first, use fresh, not frozen, chicken wings. We’ve tried both and there is a noticeable difference. Second, use a good quality balsamic vinegar – an authentic balsamic from Italy, not a cheap, bargain-aisle imitation. A six year old balsamic is perfect; anything fancier would be wasted. Our favorite is a …

Recipes like this one are made for easy, no-fuss meals. It only takes a few minutes of prep and a very short cooking time – and the results are nothing short of phenomenal.

Fragrant thyme is frequently paired …

Honey Butter-Glazed Chicken with Radishes

The radish is a vegetable that is typically consumed fresh, at least in this country. But in many culinary traditions, radishes are eaten both fresh and cooked. Daikon, the long, white Asian radish, is an important ingredient in many traditional soups, stews and other cooked dishes, in addition to being eaten fresh or preserved in a pickled form. Like other members of the Brassicaceae family, the flavor of radishes is earthy and pungent, frequently bordering on downright spicy. Cooking tends to …

Our version of this dish is inspired by and adapted from a recipe by foodwriter Joyce Jue, which was originally intended for quail. We loved the flavors so much that we wanted to try it with a …
