BBQ Chicken Legs

Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.

An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.

A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.

This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.

Every sauce needs a few secrets. Ours is smoky, sweet, and savory—use it for burgers, fries, tenders, and more.

Leftover rotisserie chicken finds new purpose in this endlessly comforting dish.
