Classic roasted chicken
The secret to a delicious chicken is buying the best quality bird you can find, such as a locally raised one from a small farm. For an extra-crisp and golden skin, pat chicken dry with paper towel and leave in the fridge (unwrapped) on a baking sheet overnight. Get the recipe.

Curtis Stone's piri piri chicken
Piri piri is a Portuguese sauce that combines garlic, chiles, red wine vinegar, and oil. While I like things spicy, the level of heat in this pureed sauce can be adjusted if you like; just use fewer Thai chiles for a milder ride. Get the recipe.
