South African Braai Drumsticks

In South Africa the word “braai” means cooking over an open fire. The culture of grilling is as ingrained there as it is in the U.S., with backyard cooks passionate about the seasonings they use. This marinade reflects the Cape Malay influences, highly flavored with spices. Serve with a lightly dressed salad of curly endive or radicchio lettuce.

Coffee-Rubbed Drumsticks with Creamy Fennel Slaw

Using a spoonful of deeply roasted coffee as part of a seasoning rub is more common with steaks or red meat, but the flavor of coffee teamed up with southwestern herbs and spices blend magically with the dark drumstick meat.

Osso Buco-Style Chicken Legs

Meaty chicken legs, rather than veal shanks, are braised in a tomato sauce, then sprinkled with gremolata—a zesty blend of chopped herbs, fresh garlic, and lemon zest. Creamy polenta is an ideal accompaniment to this favorite Italian fall one-dish supper that’s lovely for an intimate dinner party.

Dukkah-Crusted Roasted Drumsticks

Dukkah is an Egyptian seasoning—varying blends of crushed toasted nuts, seeds, and spices. It’s served as a snack on the street with strips of pita bread, that are dipped into olive oil, then the dukkah. In this recipe, the roasting process toasts the seasoning.

Hearty Chicken Ribollita Soup

Ribollita, a traditional stew-like Tuscan soup, often uses day-old bread to add body and thicken the broth. This version uses coarsely mashed white beans, which add more fiber and a creamy texture. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of thinly sliced fresh basil or pungent Romano cheese.

Rotisserie Chicken Naan Pizza with Spinach, Queso Fresco, & Fire-Roasted Tomato-Mango Chutney Sauce

These flatbread pizzas are great for a unique weeknight supper—the vinegary-sweet chutney zips up the chunky tomato sauce and melds beautifully with the salty cheese. If you have trouble finding queso fresco substitute some crumbled feta cheese. Ambitious Kitchen created this recipe from an ingredient list submitted by Angela S., who won a grand prize in the Just Bare® Chicken +5 Ingredient Challenge.
