Chicken Recipes For Great Versatility |

Anyone who does a lot of cooking will tell you that chicken by itself is not the tastiest meat. Steak is more intense, pork is more distinctive, and fish is more complex. Nevertheless, chicken has an advantage over all of these meats. Chicken is by far the most versatile meat there is. Turkey doesn't compare, and even pork is left in the dust. That is why chicken recipes should be at the center of any meat eater's menu.
The first person to look to when you are trying to find new chicken recipes is your mother. Every mother – or father, if he was the one who cooked in your family – has at least one chicken recipe that she cherishes above all else. For my mom, it was her chicken curry recipe. It was absolutely delicious. It had chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, tons of turmeric, and of course a spicy curry sauce. She taught it to me when I went off to college, and I've been cooking it ever since. It is a mainstay of my diet.
Of course everyone knows you can find chicken recipes in most cookbooks, but a lot of people have never actually looked at a dedicated chicken cookbook. I highly recommend getting one of these. Learning to cook in a particular ethnic style is great, but learning to really know chicken inside and out is even better. Another great way to find interesting chicken recipes is on the Internet. There are a lot of different free resources you can look at. Even more interesting are some of the commercial sites. If you buy food online, for example, some of the stores offer free recipes to entice you into using their products. Some of the best chicken recipes I have ever tried are from online food companies.
And don't forget, everyone needs a chicken soup recipe. No matter how healthy you are, you will one day run into a situation where your nose is stuffed up, your body is sore, and all you want is some chicken soup. Knowing how to make it in times like those is practically a lifesaver. It'll make you feel better, and will give you something that you can keep down even if your stomach is killing you. It is one of those necessities, like knowing how to boil potatoes or cook rice. If you can't make a good bowl of chicken soup, then you can't cook.
