Arepas

By Rick A. Martínez

These chicken and avocado-stuffed arepas, which are known as reina pepiada (or curvy queen), were created in honor of Susana Dujim, a Venezuelan beauty queen who was crowned Miss World in 1955. The 1950s also marked the invention of precooked corn flour, now known as masarepa, by a Venezuelan engineer. But arepas were around for hundreds of years throughout Latin America before that, the corn patties sometimes served whole or split, then filled with countless combinations. Preparing them used to be labor-intensive, but masarepa gives arepas a light and creamy texture without a lot of effort. Unlike cornmeal used for cornbread or muffins, which is ground dried uncooked corn, masarepa is ground from cooked corn and conveniently sold as dried corn flour. Masa harina is ground uncooked corn treated with other ingredients and is used to make tortillas and other dishes. Neither cornmeal nor masa harina can be substituted for masarepa, which is available online and in many supermarkets.

Sheet-Pan Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

By Shilpa Uskokovic

Inspired by Greek lemon potatoes, this sheet-pan dinner features garlicky chicken thighs roast to a crisp and blessing the potatoes with flavor and shine.

Gluten-Free Fried Chicken

By Sohla El-Waylly

We really went for it here, drawing on the flavor and texture of idli podi (a coarsely ground spice mixture that also goes by the name “gunpowder spice”) to create a gluten-free version of craggy-crunchy fried chicken. Our version swaps chickpea flour and sesame seeds for wheat flour, and, once fried, we dust it with lime zest, coconut, and crushed red pepper flakes. Be sure to fry the chicken to a deep brown to create superior crunch and coax out the nutty flavors of the chickpea flour and sesame seeds. And don’t skip the honey: It will balance out all the bold flavors.

Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

By Nagi | RecipeTin Eats

Recipe video above. This lime marinade has a beautiful depth of flavour and really infuses the chicken with lime flavours! Touch of sugar caramelises the chicken, and depth of flavour is achieved by using soy or fish sauce instead of salt (it doesn't taste Asiany at all, I swear!). Stove or BBQ best, but can also bake!

Lemon Turmeric Chicken Salad

By Zaynab Issa

Afghan murgh kebab (chicken kebab) and white sauce is a classic combination — the tangy, earthy sauce complements the turmeric-stained grilled chicken. Here, the two inspire a creamy, lemony chicken salad. Traditionally, Afghan white sauce is made with mayonnaise, milk, dried dill, vinegar and often MSG. A bit of Greek yogurt balances the richness of the mayo while maintaining a texture sturdy enough for a pita pocket. Fresh dill, sugar, salt and vinegar pay homage to the original seasonings, while the lemon zest, turmeric and garlic draw from the traditional murgh kebab marinade.

Sheet-Pan Italian Dressing Chicken Thighs

By null

Roasted sheet-pan chicken thighs are a staple for easy weeknight dinners year-round. This version features flavor powerhouse Ken’s Northern Italian Dressing two ways: as a marinade and as a luscious pan sauce (once it’s combined with the chicken drippings). The red bell pepper, sweet basil, and Romano cheese in the dressing add so much flavor to the dish, and the marinade really tenderizes the meat. To serve, I like to make a refreshing yet comforting pea and basil panzanella salad. The peas are roasted in the same sheet pan as the chicken, then tossed with basil and toasted torn bread so everything soaks up that pan sauce goodness. If you’ve got any leftover chicken thighs and peas, they taste great thrown together with pasta or mixed greens the next day.
