With this cookbook on your kitchen counter, you’ll prepare delicious chicken suppers with confidence and ease. Author Stacie Billis’ light, funny, and instructional tone takes the intimidation factor out of working with chicken, whether you’re breaking down a bird or roasting it whole. Each chapter is chock-full of tips and tricks that use a wide range of techniques, from braising and roasting to grilling, slow cooking, and sheet-pan cooking, and all fifty recipes focus on tender meat infused with flavor. Keep roasted chicken classic, or give it pizzazz with the addition of a savory compound butter. Get perfectly crispy tenders without frying or give fajitas with lime crema the sheetpan treatment for easy prep (and cleanup). Other favorite recipes include Chicken Thighs with Maple–Cider Vinegar Glaze and Fennel-Apple Slaw, Sheet Pan Shawarma, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, Green and White Chicken Chili, Peachy Sriracha Sticky Wings, and Pineapple Chicken Salad with Green Beans and Toasted Coconut. With colorful photographs of every recipe providing ample inspiration, Winner! Winner Chicken Dinner will help you master the classics and discover new favorites for every occasion, from a casual dinner party to a backyard cookout.

Review: Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner by Stacie Billis
If you are like me, there is nothing like a good old fashioned chicken dinner as a real comfort meal. Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner has simple step-by-step ideas and can be a resource to both new and seasoned home chefs. Billis gives tips on how to choose, prepare and cook so many different chicken recipes that there is something for everyone here. In this recipe book you will find:
- Choosing, Buying, & Handling
- Butchering & Carving for the Everyday Cook
- Recipes
- In an Oven
- In a Pan
- In a Pot
- On a Grill
- Using & Preparing Leftovers
The layout of the cookbook and the variety of recipes is wonderful. There are also detailed instructions for how to butcher a chicken and quite a few easy to make sauce recipes as well. Many of the ingredients are simple and ones that are already available in most pantries.
Ten-Minute Tostadas
I created the Chicken Tostadas with some leftover chicken that was in my fridge and I can’t wait to have them again. If you are looking for some new and creative ideas for cooking up chicken, Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner by Stacie Billis is one book to add to your collection. It is straightforward and written for all levels of expertise.

It is a great resource, for sure!
This is a book I need for sure!
I hope that you enjoy it if you give it a try!
I probably need this book. I cook a lot of chicken, but it’s usually just shredded or baked.
I should try some baked recipes. I am always deferring to the barbecuer at my house. 😉
Barbecue is just so good, though!
I love chicken looking good
Thanks for stopping by, Rochelle!
Damn I nearly wish I didn’t become a vegan Lori!!
lol I can understand that, Sophie!
I would love this cookbook. It has so many wonderful recipes.
I hope that you get the chance to give it a try!
Looks like a great cookbook!
I’ve been starting my collection of cookbooks, so I’m so glad that you post reviews like this!
I haven’t made any chicken in ages, this would be a good way to have some sure fire recipes you don’t feel you are experimenting!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!
We are always looking for different ways to prepare chicken
Sometimes I regret being a vegetarian (but not for long!).
Thank you for your review. This sounds like a fabulous cookbook. We love chicken and any time I can find a different way to serve it, I am all in
