A Bird in the Hand: Chicken Recipes for Every Day & Every Mood (Diana Henry)

In A Bird in the Hand, Diana Henry o­ffers a host of new, easy and not-so-very-well-known dishes, starring the bird we all love.

Chicken is one of the most popular foods we love to cook and eat: comforting, quick, celebratory and casual. Plundering the globe, there is no shortage of brilliant ways to cook it, whether you need a quick supper on the table after work, something for a lazy summer barbecue or a feast to nourish family and friends. 

From quick Vietnamese lemon grass and chilli chicken thighs and a smoky chicken salad with roast peppers and almonds, through to a complete feast with pomegranate, barley and feta stuffed roast chicken with Georgian aubergines, there is no eating or entertaining occasion that isn't covered in this book. 

This book has beautiful photography throughout.

The recipes are organised as follows:

• suppers: dishes for every night of the week
• the spice route: scented, perfumed, hot
• the main attraction: Sunday lunches and posh dinners
• chooks, shoots and leaves: chicken salads
• feast: let's celebrate
• summer & smoke: griddled and barbecued
• pure comfort: dishes to warm and soothe
• remains of the day: what to do with the rest of that bird...
