The James Beard Foundation/KitchenAid Book Award Winner for Best Single Subject Cookbook

“As the title says, this is about as complete as one cookbook can be.” -- Publishers Weekly
“This is not . . . just for ‘serious cooks,’ but a book for anyone who wants a recipe that works the first time out." -- John Mariani

Vast and authoritative, with 38 chapters containing nearly 500 recipes and 300 illustrations, The Complete Book of Chicken offers readers the very best methods for preparing chicken, as well as turkey, duck, goose, quail, squab, and pheasant. From one of America’s most respected culinary magazines, Cook’s Illustrated, each recipe and preparation tip has been tested and retested by their award-winning staff. No other cookbook has taken this approach to the subject, and no other cookbook has broken such new ground in the kitchen. Inside, you’ll find:
* The surest way to roast chicken with a crisp skin and juicy, tender meat
* Clearly illustrated tips and directions on preparing birds, including carving, stuffing a goose, and butterflying Cornish game hens
* How to prepare and serve less common poultry like duck and other game birds
* Why brining a turkey makes all the difference in the world

Plus a great flock of recipes, from Chicken and Herb Dumplings with Spring Vegetables to Grilled Duck Breast with White Bean Puree to Cincinnati-Style Turkey Chili. There are even recipes for stuffing, gravies, and mayonnaise to use in one of the best chicken salads imaginable. Enlightening, instructive, and invaluable, this is a book for any cook interested in poultry.

Zen and the Art of Cooking Beer-Can Chicken: The Definitive Guide: the Nation's Best Companion Guide for Cooking, Brining, and Injecting Beer-Can Chicken

Don't Recycle That Beer Can Just Yet- Use it to Make Chicken! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Zen and the Art of Cooking Beer Can Chicken provides the reader with the full cookbook experience. Starting with some information about unique cooking devices that infuse your chicken or turkey with different flavorings, the book then covers several important aspects of beer can cooking, including safety; gas, oven, and charcoal grilling; rubs and marinades; and brining/injections. The book is more than just a list of recipes: It wants the reader to get the full experience, with facts and tips on all aspects of the cooking process.

This book has an interesting name and many potential readers might be wondering exactly what is meant by the term "Beer Can Chicken". This is discussed in the books opening sections, with author Cary Black explaining how the beer can method works and how to prepare a beer can for this purpose. The beer can method of cooking chicken inspired special cooking devices like the Poultry Pal Cooker, described in the book's opening pages, and it forms the basis for other kitchen devices that help to cook chicken in a similar manner. These different cooking tools have slight differences, but they function the same way. They allow the meat juices to trickle down into a pan, combine with the beer (or other liquid) placed in the pan, and then bubble up, back into the chicken. The use of an actual beer can doesn't accomplish this feat as perfectly as an actual cooking apparatus, but the basic idea is the same. This produces a chicken that is flavorful, moist, and tender.

I like the fact that this book includes so many non- poultry recipes. Most cookbooks of this type would have stuck with the main topic of chicken and failed to mention anything else. But Zen and the Art of Cooking Beer Can Chicken includes recipes for both side dishes and desserts. Author Cary Black wanted buyers of the book to have some good recipes for other foods to serve along with the fully- cooked bird, so he added these final two sections to the book. They include vegetable side dishes and other things that are compatible with chicken, along with some tasty sweet foods to finish off the meal.

If you're the type who cooks on a budget, you will appreciate the fact that most of the recipes in this book are simple to prepare and they require only a small list of ingredients. Besides the chicken, it is common to see other requirements like onions, potatoes, butter, pepper, salt, garlic power, etc. The liquid flavor essence can call for ingredients like beer, wine, rum, cranberry juice, soy sauce, etc. As long as you have plenty of spices on hand, along with an assortment of beer and liquor, you should have no trouble rounding up the ingredients for most all of these recipes. The ingredients are relatively few, and they are basic ingredients- not items that are going to cost a small fortune to purchase.

Overall, Zen and the Art of Cooking Beer Can Chicken is a good recipe book for those who like to cook chicken and who like to discover new and creative ways to make an ordinary piece of poultry taste like something prepared by a gourmet chef. The presentation of the book is much like the printout from a standard word document, and it wasn't designed with the most professional look in mind. But the book, taken as a whole, is quite good. It offers some unique and delicious ways to prepare a chicken or turkey along with some good educational material, side dish and dessert recipes, and basic advice to ensure your meal is one worth remembering.

Editorial Review:

Beer-can chicken is fast growing in popularity as the best way to cook chicken. Zen and the Art of Cooking Beer-Can Chicken was written for all the new fancy cooking devices designed to cook beer-can chicken without the beer-can. What about brining or injecting your poultry? This book has it all!!! This book is the definitive guide to assuring the best approach with any of the new products!!! Be at peace and let the creative culinary vibrations of the Universe descend into your humble kitchen. Have fun and feed your friends with simplicity, low fat, and good taste.

My most-used cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I do not enjoy cooking most of the time, and my kids keep me busy, so I don't want to spend much time cooking, and I don't want a cookbook that requires lots of ingredients. I refer to this cookbook every week. It has been a lifesaver!

every day meals you can use every day 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I use the six ingredient cookbooks every day.Most cookbooks are filled with recipes you'll never use. Not this one. Practically every recipe will be used by the every day person using this book. They're fast, simple, and good.

Best cookbook ever!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I adore this cookbook!!! I bought my first book with my first husband, got divorced, he got the book, and then I just had to replace it!!! It is the best!! You don't have to be Betty Crocker to cook with these recipes. The recipes are fantastic and are easy to put together, but taste like you spent all day!!! What can I say, I'm a fan of this book!! The recipe for the cream cheese mints are to die for. I even made the mints for my wedding reception, and no one can believe that they weren't bought at a specialty store. There's never any left either!! The mints are great to set out at parties, and they freeze beautifully! I could go on and on.......

Chicken every way you'll like 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

A very useful cookbook with lots of interesting recipes. And it lives up to the series title of "Everyday Cookbooks." Most of the recipes are uncomplicated & many use ingredients you probably have on hand. My only problem with it is that it doesn't index the recipes by chicken part -- that is, you can't quickly look up recipes for boneless chicken breasts or for whole chickens, for example, but have to browse through the book to find them. But I still find myself using this cookbook alot!

Fantastic book - great series 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I picked up Tuesday is Chicken a few years ago, and I've been using it all the time since. In fact, I loved it so much that I went out and bought the rest of the series!

Dozens of great recipes, straight forward instructions, and almost no exotic ingredients. Favorite recipe? Pepper-Pecan chicken, by far.

Editorial Review:

“Talking turkey” about the bird you thought you knew
 
Fondly remembered as the centerpiece of family Thanksgiving reunions, the turkey is a cultural symbol as well as a multi-billion dollar industry. As a bird, dinner, commodity, and as a national icon, the turkey has become as American as the bald eagle (with which it actually competed for supremacy on national insignias).
 
Food historian Andrew F. Smith’s sweeping and multifaceted history of Meleagris gallopavo separates fact from fiction, serving as both a solid historical reference and a fascinating general read. With his characteristic wit and insatiable curiosity, Smith presents the turkey in ten courses, beginning with the bird itself (actually several different species of turkey) flying through the wild. The Turkey subsequently includes discussions of practically every aspect of the iconic bird, including the wild turkey in early America, how it came to be called “turkey,” domestication, turkey mating habits, expansion into Europe, stuffing, conditions in modern industrial turkey factories, its surprising commercial history of boom and bust, and its eventual ascension to holiday mainstay.  
 
As one of the easiest of foods to cook, the turkey’s culinary possibilities have been widely explored if little noted.  The second half of the book collects an amazing array of over one hundred historical and modern turkey recipes from across America and Europe.  From sandwiches to salmagundi, you’ll find detailed instructions on nearly every variation on the turkey. Historians will enjoy a look back at the varied appetites of their ancestors and seasoned cooks will have an opportunity to reintroduce a familiar food in forgotten ways.

DISAPPOINTED! 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Had the pleasure of seeing you the foodtv network with david raggirio, and boy did your outdoor chicken cookout with your family look good! couldn't wait to see if you had a cookbook out, and you did, i bought it.... went through and marked all the recipes i couldn't wait to try...still trying to figure out which recipe is the one shown on the show i mentioned above....anyway my first recipe was "Owens plain ol' baked wings" i followed the recipe to the letter! honey, those wings still ain't "crispy on the outside!" it took me turning up the heat, draining the water left in the pan, and cooking those wings yet ANOTHER 45 minutes before I saw crispy! please tell me that was a typeo? I am giving you another try tonight with the Potato Herb Chicken Breasts....stay tuned

Great for beginners and good for more experienced cooks. 4 out of 5 stars.

I thought that the recipes were good the writing concise and the stories were great. I happen to like reading authors who tell the stories behind their concoctions. The Chicken Man does leave out some very important info and ideas utilizing brines as well as marinades and should drop me a line to find out more. Gary the BBQ STUD
